The Underdogs of AU Student Organizations

What is one of the most stressed things on campus? What did a tour guide drill into your head before you were even an official student at Adelphi?

GET INVOLVED! GET INVOLVED! GET INVOLVED! 

Ah right, get involved….make new friends, find your niche, go to events, follow the SOAP requirments and you’re all set!

Let’s be real, if we didnt have a recognition award to fullfil we wouldn’t even bother with half of the things are are involved with. Unless you’re in Her Campus (We arent official). We can save that story for another day.

The real question is, should you be involved? There’s plenty of clubs and teams and Greek Life things to be apart of like C.A.L.I.B.E.R. and Coco Gamma Tau Sigma Pencil Kappa Doe. 

Okay enough jokes. On the more serious side, there’s student organizations that are overlooked! Many of us are only familar with a few organizations and they are the organizaitions with a large following. By default, they win at everything, even the loyalty of SGA and CSI. 

In an effort to give the underdogs some much needed praise, here’s a list of Adelphi organiztions that you should check out.
