Rebecca Meyers<\/strong>\u00a0| Lifestyle editor<\/span><\/p>\n Western is home to a wide variety of clubs and organizations, from Unidos to the Communication club to the Triangle Alliance. There\u2019s something for just about everyone. However, there\u2019s always room for growth, especially when there are so many topics and interests to cover. For those considering adding to Western\u2019s collection, here\u2019s the basic steps needed to create a new student organization. <\/span><\/p>\n Step Two:<\/b> The founder(s) can start the registration process on OrgSync through Portal, where other students can join the club. The application requires a name for the organization and a categorization of the club \u2014 Greek, academic, student government, etc. It also has a place for the founders to give a brief description, a website, and keywords to help other students find the club based on their interests. The organization will also need some way for others to contact, such as their own email address and someone to be in charge of said address.<\/span> Step Four:<\/b> The organization will also require someone to write a constitution outlining the guidelines and a mission statement to inform potential members of the organization\u2019s purpose.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Step One:<\/b> One of the first things a club needs, aside from its founder, is an adviser. Advisers aren\u2019t students but are often professors in topics related to the club. Before moving onto the next step, the club will also have to recruit a minimum of five student members.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Step Three: <\/b>All the organization will then need before becoming official is a meeting time and place, as well as a president and any other positions needed by the club. <\/span><\/p>\n
