Mostly C’s: A great org fit for you would be something that can speak to you culturally, whether that be through the Council of Cultural Activities or something more specific to who you are like the Black Student Union, Association of Latinx/Hispanic Advocates and Allies, or a fraternity/sorority that is specific to the culture you identify with.
