Student Organizations
College isn't just about the classes you take; it's about discovering who you are, figuring out what you're interested in, and gaining like-minded friends and colleagues along the way. That's why DU hosts more than 100 student-run organizations. From backpacking to board games, science to spirituality, finance to Fraternities and Sororities, club sports, arts, honor societies and so much more, you'll find an amazing array of opportunities to get involved. If you can't find the organization of your dreams, don't worry—we'll show you how to start it yourself!
