Th e race was postponed by a week due to the weather, and IU’s administration during this period ruled that no fraternity with discriminatory clauses would be allowed to race.

Bloomington fraternity leaders frantically called their national offi ces to try to get rid of their clauses in time, and all but one succeeded and were allowed to race.

How to start exploring new opportunities

By Zackary Swoboda

zswoboda@iu.edu

Now that you’re at IU, you may be wondering what you can get involved in. Th ere is an abundance of student groups to join at IU, as well as a lot of diff erent ways to fi nd out more information about them.

IU has nearly 800 student groups you can join. All you need to decide are which ones are a perfect fi t.

No matter your interests, it’s likely you’ll fi nd a student group on campus that suits you.

If not, you have the opportunity to create your own group.

Th e details for starting your own group can be found online on IU’s Division of Student Aff airs website under “Student Organizations.”

Th e annual student involvement fair in Dunn Meadow is the perfect place to fi nd a new organization. At the fair, you have the chance to check out and get more information about IU’s clubs and student groups in person.

Th ere are also opportunities online that can give you vital information to join student groups.

On IU’s beINvolved site, you can search and fi lter through diff erent student groups based upon your interests.

Greek life is another way to get involved during your time at IU. Fraternity rush happens both in the fall and spring semesters, and sorority recruitment happens in the spring.

Th e IU Interfraternity Council, or IFC, releases schedules for fraternity recruitment, and the IU Panhellenic Association, or PHA, releases schedules for sorority recruitment.

Another way IU student groups advertise is by posting bulletins in diff erent residence halls, education buildings and dining halls. Sidewalk chalk is another common way groups advertise their meetings.

Although IU’s size can be intimidating, fi nding the right student group for you can make it easier to get accustomed to your new school.
