Frequently Asked Questions

What are Societies?

A Society is a group of students that come together with a common social, athletic, charitable, cultural, or academic purpose and are ratified by The Board of Directors.

What are the benefits to joining a Society?

Societies are an integral part of enhancing a student’s university experience! Not only do they provide opportunities to meet new people and gain a sense of community, do exciting things, and learn more about yourself, they also give students the chance to expand their university experience, get involved whilst developing new skills, and most importantly have fun!

How do I start a Society with The U?

Want to connect with students with similar interests and don’t see a society for you? Why not start one today! Society Executives must fill out both the Ratification and Constitution Forms (found below in the “Society Forms” Section) at the beginning of every school year in order to be an official Society. Primary Executives (Presidents, Vice Presidents, Lead Coordinators, Lead Directors etc.) must attend Society Leadership Training and must register for a booth at Society Night. Societies are ratified at the beginning of each semester.

How do I join a Society at The U?

The U hosts a society fair at the beginning of each semester that gives students the chance to learn more about societies, meet the current members, and sign up! You can also browse the Society Directory below that has an up-to-date list of Societies including the current Exec Teams!
