GETTING INVOLVED
from On-Campus Handbook
by EIU Housing
Living in University Housing gives you many opportunities to get involved and be a leader on campus! This is a great way to have fun and establish life long friendships while carrying a number of responsibilities in the residence halls. Getting involved in your hall, Residence Hall Association, National Residence Hall Honorary, and Student Affairs Prep Program are all great opportunities available to on-campus students.
Your Hall

Residents are provided the opportunity to have their opinions heard and play an active role in their halls. Residents create communities through events and activities while providing them the experience in the decision-making process, participate as a leader in hall activities, oversee hall activity funds, and learn how to work with others. Meetings are held weekly.
Residence Hall Association
The Residence Hall Association (RHA) serves as the voice of on-campus residents. Weekly meetings, open to all students residing in University housing, are held to discuss any number of topics related to the needs of the ever-changing student population. RHA has provided input on room and board rates, policy changes, furniture purchases, and renovation plans. Each residence hall elects three residents to serve as RHA representatives for their hall.
National Residence Hall Honorary
The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is the recognition branch of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH). NACURH, as an organization, believes that recognition is a must in a strong residence hall community. As such, NRHH is there to make sure that we don’t forget to give those who deserve it a much-needed pat on the back. NRHH chapters have a special way of recognizing those top leaders - by membership. NRHH chapter membership is selected every semester through an application process.
