Organizations promote change, interaction by Phil Watson Journalism Sophomore Student organizations are a big part of life at Carolina, with more than 260 organizations registered with the university. Whether you’re interested in religion, student media, community service, the military, sports or other special interest organizations, Carolina has a club for you. Student organizations are a great way to meet people with simi lar interests. Some organizations serve primarily as social outlets, some help students prepare for their careers, some give students an oppor tunity to give back to the community and some help students grow stronger in their religious faith. If you’re interested in greek life, there are 21 fraternities and 15 sororities at USC. Carolina has more than 32 academic honor organi zations and more than 36 special interest oiganizations. Joining USC’s Residence Hall Association, one of the largest or ganizations on campus, is a great way to have a say in how your resi dence hall is run. Students involved with RHA have regular meetings to discuss how they can benefit residents. Journalism freshman Derrec Becker dec' led to be a floor repre sentative his freshman year. He said the experience helped him on sev eral levels. “Volunteering to be the fifth floor representative for Snowden Hall gave me the opportunity to have a say in what goes on where I live.” Becker said. “I could hear the complaints and suggestions of my hall mates and then mention those suggestions at the meetings. It was an opportunity to be involved with those around me, and it helped me get to know more people.” The Association of African-American Students is another large campus organization. Chemical engineering sophomore Piere Middleton said he made a lot of new friends and learned more about black history by joining AAAS. “AAAS gave me a chance to develop as a student. It made me well-rounded and allowed me to meet new people,” Mid dleton said. “I enjoyed the cultural events this organization gave me a chance to participate in. I was enlightened by AAAS. It taught me things about African-American culture that 1 didn’t previously know.” Criminal justice freshman Negolia Alexander also benefit ed from a student organization. She said being in the USC chap ter of the NAACP helped her make new friends and express her beliefs. “The NAACP allowed me to participate in the social scene at USC just as 1 did in high school,” Alexander said. “It gave me the opportunity to find persons with similar interests to my own on this large campus.” Sport organizations also help new students make friends and have fun. Business freshman Ryan Hoheman played rugby his freshman year. “Rugby was a great way to meet new friends and go on so cial outings,” Hoheman said. “Also, the Rugby Club allowed me to see many parts of the southeast by playing away games. The game is also good for the competitive spirit and friendship.” Photo By Amy Goulding The Gamecock USC students work at the Moore Garden during the university’s celebration of Earth Week.
