How many groups should I join?
It depends. By balancing your responsibilities with your studies, you'll find that getting involved and staying involved at Drury is easy and significantly benefits and enhances your collegiate experience. Here are some suggestions:

  • Student Athletes, Intense majors and students that hold part-time jobs: We suggest joining one or two groups that you can really devote your time to.  
  • Students that have more free time: You'll have more time to get involved in student groups; we'd suggest two or three groups for you.  

Can I start a new group?
Yes. The process to start a new organization is listed on the Student Activities website.  You'll be able to find a clear, step-by-step guide for the group recognition process, tips to recruit new members and information about leading effective meetings and sustaining your new organization.
