There are more than 20 clubs and organizations on our campus. For more information visit our main website here: Clubs & Organizations.

Getting involved is as easy as going to an interest meeting, or going to the Crusader Fair the first week of classes in the fall semester. Student Life often send out emails and other advertising materials with information about upcoming events and programming.

Many students involved with a club or organization state that their involvement has helped them get better grades because they learned organizational and time management skills. Your time in college will help you find a balance between your academic studies and life outside the classroom. What you do outside the classroom can improve your in-class performance.

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) and Student Government Association (SGA) are the two largest student-run organizations on campus.

CAB is composed of student chairpersons and committee members that handle a large portion of the campus weekend social events. CAB’s events include hosting bands, comedians and other fun events to entertain our campus community. CAB hosts a free event almost every week. If you have ideas for fun and engaging activities to do on campus, please stop by the Office of Student Life to share them with the Director of Student Activities. Student Life will do their best to bring those things to campus with your help.

SGA is composed of students from each academic college and class that govern the student body and their concerns. They meet weekly, serve on faculty committees, provide input on College policy, and offer financial assistance to clubs and organizations. SGA freshman elections are held every September and there are four seats open for the freshman class.

Ask a member of any group you are interested in or ask any staff member in Student Life and they will point you in the right direction to become involved and get engaged. Student Life finds the more an Abbey student engages in the life and community of Belmont Abbey College, the better their college experience is. Your engagement in things outside the classroom can make the difference between a great college experience and an average one.

That depends on you and how much time you have to spend.

As a first year student, it is key to get adjusted to your living arrangement and settling in to your classes. Your first semester is a good time to look into clubs and organizations that are geared towards your interest(s) and/or major(s).

Each Fall, Student Life plans the Crusader Involvement fair where you can learn about the clubs and organizations on campus.  Student Life schedules this event right after new student orientation so you can get involved as soon as possible with their great list of clubs and organizations. You may join a group anytime, so approach a member and ask when their next meeting is scheduled.  They would love to have you come and see what they do. The Office of Student Life also has a contact list of all the clubs and organizations on campus.

Please stop by to find out how to get involved!

There is a process Student Life asks of new clubs and organizations to ensure that the pursuits of the club or organization will serve both the students and mission of Belmont Abbey College. First stop in to fill out the forms required to be approved. These forms include an application, bylaws, a constitution, an advisor agreement and a note about how this club will help foster community here at the Abbey. The request is then submitted to the SGA for approval and then to the Dean of Student Life for final approval.  Make an appointment to speak with the Dean of Student Life to discuss the possibility of starting a new club.

You will need to discuss your activity with the Coordinator of Student Life or Director of Student Activities, located on the 2nd floor of the Commons. Student Life will check that there will be no conflicts with other activities and we will help reserve your needed resources on campus.

The Office of Student Life can take care of publicizing your activity for you.  They have the ability to reach all students and all faculty/staff members. All flyers and advertising must be approved by the Office of Student Life before being posted on campus. Unauthorized flyers will be taken down.

Belmont Abbey has an active Greek system with three sororities (Alpha Sigma Pi, Tau Kappa Delta, and Epsilon Sigma Alpha) and two fraternities (Sigma Alpha and Kappa Sigma). Greek organizations offer students the opportunity to enhance their college experience in a unique environment.

Our Greek organizations plan a number of activities throughout the year.   Events which reach out to local children are favorites. In addition, each organization supports and engages in philanthropic work through fundraising, community service, and awareness campaigns. Formal recruitment for the sororities and rush for the fraternity are held in both the fall and spring semester. Students are not eligible to rush in their first semester of their freshman year.
