STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The Student Government Association, through the elected Senate and officers of the student body, exercises general control over student clubs, organizations, and the funds which support these activities on the campus. There are a number of organizations on campus which provide an opportunity for students to participate in the type of extra-curricular activity in which they have an interest. Many of these organizations come under the fiscal control of the student government. Convocations, special events, and entertainment are planned and provided by the Student Activities Board, an arm of student government.

Other governing bodies on campus are the Residence Hall Association which has representation from resident students, the Interfraternity Council which serves the eight men’s social fraternities on campus, and the Panhellenic Council which serves the three women’s fraternities.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

The organizations and clubs offered include governance groups, professional and technical societies, performing arts groups, recreational and sports clubs, Greek letter organizations, the student newspaper, the radio station, and a number of special interest groups. Approximately 85% of our students participate in one or more club or organization. If Rose-Hulman does not offer what you are looking for, you can even create your own club.
