So you didn’t get a bid during recruitment? I’ve been there and I know how badly it can make you feel. But I promise, it’s not the end of your social life or your world. Marquette is home to over hundreds of organizations. There are several other groups to join if you’re still in the market for female bonding and community building. More information about these organizations can be found at the Marquette Student Involvement page. If none of these organizations are quite what you were looking for, start your own! There’s bound to be other people on campus with similar interests. You’ll never know until you try! For more information on the process to begin an organization at Marquette, click here!

Empowerment: Feminism isn’t just for women or liberals. It’s about digging up the roots of injustice-spotting how our conscious and unconscious assumptions about gender feed oppression, discrimination, poverty, and sexual violence-and then doing something about it.

Yoga Club: An organization dedicated to the practice of yoga and it’s principles in every day life
