Starting a Club: Steps for starting a new club 1. Explore the clubs already in existence at Bryn Mawr College before starting a club. If a student finds that we do not have a club which is of interest to them they can choose to start their own club. However, the club must be different than any club already on campus. 2. Gain interest and members from the student body by hosting an event. A minimum of five members is required for any new club. 3. Once you have five members you can petition the Office of Student Activities to start a new club. Petitions are accepted in September and January and the petition form will be available on the Student Activities website during the first two weeks of each semester. 4. If funding is desired, the new club must submit a written constitution to SGA's Student Finance Committee in the beginning of the semester. Please review the Constitution Guide for a template. Constitution Guide (PDF) (Word) 5. All clubs are required to register each academic year with the Office of Student Activities at the beginning of the fall semester. |
