5 HU Clubs and Organizations

Campus Pals:
The HU Campus Pals are a group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors that help freshman students transition into Howard University. They provide numerous activities during freshman week, that unify the freshman class immediately upon arrival. This year we went to Kings Dominion, had a freshman dance, the dating game, and much more. They continue their activities, as well as informational meetings to help the freshman throughout the entirety of the year.

Misses At Meridian Outreach Society:
This is an organization that I am currently part of. This is an outreach society stemming from Meridian Hill Hall, an upperclassmen dorm that houses many freshman girls. This program is implemented to serve Freshmen girls living in Meridian Hill Hall, and help them transition to Howard as well, being that they are living off campus, with students outside their class, and separate from the normal freshman girl experience. They also reach out into the community, to help the surrounding area through community service. It was founded just last year by the President Miss Oyetewa Oyerinde, Vice President Miss Brittany Maner, and Secretary Miss Christina Spann.

International Pals:
They are similar to the Campus Pals, however they extend their reach to international students more so. They are here to help incoming freshman and transfer students from international background transition to Howard University. They also have several programs, and have numerous activities freshman week, and continued on into the year. Although they aim to help international students, their activities are not limited to only international students, and are instead open to everyone!

State Clubs:
There are also numerous clubs for the states that various Howard Students are from. Although it is not necessary to be from the state whose group you are joining, it is beneficial. It gives you a chance to bond and relate to people from similar areas to you, that are also trying to succeed out here in college. The different state clubs have numerous functions for everyone to come out and see what their state is all about!

Caribbean Student Association (CSA):
This is an organization that is like a state club for students from the Caribbean and surrounding areas but really so much more than that. It allows those students to come together and share their culture with all the different cultures present. It's also a chance for non international students to see what they do as well. CSA host a lot of parties that are very fun to go to, and they put on a lot of programs as well.
