<p>Hey all!
This is my first year at UW, and I am living in an apartment, so that being said I haven't met a ton of people yet. I'm interested in starting an undergraduate anti-racist social/political action RSO but I'm not sure where I should start. As far as I can tell, no such group exists on campus for the 2012-2013 school year and I'm hoping to start one up next quarter. Anyone have any suggestions on steps that I should take to let students know that I am trying to start this and possibly probe interest for others to be part of the founding group? Online forums, etc; are especially helpful.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you’re interested in starting an RSO, you need 4 other students as “officers”. Start off by checking the Class of 20XX Facebook groups and posting to see if anyone is interested. Check out reddit [dot] com/r/udub (make an account, post a ‘self post’ on right side). If you’ve made some friends from classes, see if they can spread the word or if they know anyone who may be interested!</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>
