How do I get involved with service organizations and student government?

ClubFest will feature tables from LMU's many student organizations in the first few weeks of the semester. You can also always explore the Student Affairs website and visit its offices in Malone.

If I am not a CFA major, may I participate in the range of activities in the college?

In many cases, you do not need to be a major or minor in the department offering the event in order to participate. Auditions in Theatre Arts and Music, and calls for entry/submissions for exhibitions or student journals, are often open to everyone, regardless of major or minor.

There are also many campus clubs that perform dance, music and theatre. You do not have to be a major or minor to join these clubs – although in some cases an audition is required.

How do I join a sorority or fraternity?
