Making commitments is necessary for the drive to excellence. With organizations the commitments cover an entire range of possibilities. On the next 78 pages are 73 clubs and a look at the obligations they entail. The clubs cover a range of social, service, pre-professional, honoraries, sports, fine arts, government, education, publications, and the Greek system. Sponsored events by these different groups are as different as the groups themselves. Some group activities include water polo games, Catholic mass, music concerts, prospective freshmen tours, student senate meetings, candy apple sales, and holiday parties. Creek activities cover the kidnapping of Dr. Carrier for charity, canoe races, and the parade. The diversity of events can only contribute to the quality of the university. 200 Organizations Divider
