Student Organizations

Southern offers a myriad of opportunities for you to get involved. Thanks to students with a passion for what they do and a willingness to lead, the university hosts over 40 student organizations. Open to all students with similiar interests or skills, these organizations focus on areas like academics, service ministries, social activities, and cultural diversity. If you would like to join a student organization, join us for our annual Organization Showcase on August 25 when all of our clubs come together to enlist members. Can't make it to enlist at the organizational showcase? See a list of this year's clubs and contact information below.

If you have questions regarding a club, how to join, or create one, visit Alexis Grentz in the Student Development office located on the second floor of the Bietz Center for Student Life, Suite 2400. You can also email Alexis at agrentz@southern.edu.
