<p>It looks good on your college application to establish a new club in your school right?
Have you started a club in your school, if so, what was it?
Did it became a sucess, how many members?
I feel like starting a book club. In middle school, I was the president and I feel like starting one in my high school, so im gonna be brave and round up a group of book lovers. Read and discuss books every week and probably organize trips to a local hospital to read to unfortunate children.</p>
<p>Music Club. It was quite difficult at first, but once I found a solid member base of about 7-8 people that are really passionate about music it became easier.</p>
<p>We also put out a podcast bi-weekly with all sorts of music most high schoolers don't know about and upload it online for the school to check out.</p>
<p>We have around 13 members now. Anywhere from 10 to 18 at timess! </p>
<p>I think it'd be gret if we had more listeners but in time we will.</p>
<p>Book Club sounds awesome, just be sure to find something specific, because books in general, like music, are sort of hard to make a club around due to the many different genres. So maybe have like a Fiction Book of the Month and stuff.</p>
<p>My friend started a club about the Twilight series for instance.</p>
<p>Thanx
Oh, I love that idea about the Fiction Book of the Month, because Twilight is really popular in my school and we could have a discussion about the novel and the movie.
p.s.If I went to your school, I would totally join your music club :).</p>
<p>I started Rocketry Club at my school in 9th grade. There were about 10 people, and we made it to the finals (top 100 teams out of the 700+ that competed) and came in 64th place.
I changed schools sophomore year and I started Rocketry Club at my new school. We had like 20 members (~9 dedicated ones). We made it to the finals, and came in 13th place out of the 700+ teams. We did so well, NASA hired us as a government contractor this year.
And because of last year's events, now we have 45+ members (15+ dedicated).</p>
<p>The moral of this story... your club may start out small, but if you do something awesome (win a big competition), it will quickly grow!</p>
<p>I started a Mu Alpha Theta chapter at my school this year. I tried to get the more dedicated kids in the club, which means only ~9 people. It's a ton of work and kinda annoying to have to register everyone for competitions, call meetings, draft a constitution, etc. but we'll see how it goes.</p>
<p>I started the History Club. We have only about five other people who we can really trust to show up. Needless to say, people in my school are stupid, making it very difficult for this club to really get off the ground :/</p>
<p>I started ping pong club at my school. Its in southern California so ping pong isnt really accepted as a "sport."</p>
<p>We have 50 people. And 3 tables, soon to be four. Very successful, now meets two days a week to accomodate the size</p>
<p>Hopefully we can get a club funding tournament up before the new year. Then we might have tournaments for charity =).</p>
<p>My friend and I are starting a charity club.
D: We've got a lot of interest and i'm super excited to see it take off! woot.</p>
<p>hmmm. thats a good idea. (Rocketry club) But now what exactly do you do? Just build a very good rocket and fly it at a championship?</p>
<p>I had a friend that wanted to start the "White Club" because he felt it was racist that there was an Asian, Armenian, African-American, and Hispanic Club but Caucasian was not allowed.</p>
<p>^^ That's probably because Asian, African-American and Hispanic clubs revolve around culture where as White Club doesn't (appear - depending who you speak with) to revolve around any sort of culture, and of course the history of "white clubs" isn't that....great. If he had the same concept with the name European Club or something equal to that, I doubt it would cause as much of a stir.</p>
<p>My friend did something similar, she wanted to start an American Club because there were already Irish Clubs and Mexican Clubs, it got shot down.</p>
<p>I'm going to start a Shakespeare club at my school after this semester. (This semester we actually have a Shakespeare class, and we all think it's the best class ever.)</p>
<p>I founded the math club at my high school at the end of my 8th grade year and started it up last year. It was a great success and has been among the most successful clubs at our school. With membership around 50 people, we were able to pull off a AMC 10 Team Score of 291/300 last year, a couple of AIME qualifiers, and USAMO qualification. Furthermore, we've achieved success in several other math competitions as well. We have also been working on annual math contest for about a year now, with the first contest being early next semester. The middle schools in the area are very interested and it seems as if it will be a success as well. </p>
<p>I am also in the process of founding another club. All in all, it's great to found clubs as you can shape them however you see fit.</p>
<p>Whoever was asking about Rocketry...
TARC</a> | Team America Rocketry Challenge</p>
<p>I just started a debate club at my school. The first meeting was today and it was an absolute success. We had 17 kids come and after I and my rep talked about what we plan to do 15 of them signed up and 2 of them were undecided. We are about to go to ASB for approval and I'm positive they will approve. We also plan to branch off to model UN and mock trial. All of that will be just killer and a lot of fun. I LOVE debating and the fact that we havn't had any at my school has been really bothering me for some time, so being able to start a club and all just rocks. I hope it all goes well.</p>
<p>Has anyone here been on or started a Science Olympiad club? I read a little about it and it seems interesting and I might start it next year if people would join. What is it like? How many people are in it? What are normal competitions like?</p>
<p>I started a film club. Been going on for the last three years. Not for college though. I just chill with my friends in the club. No fees, no obligations, nothing. </p>
<p>Just someone brings in a video/DVD once a week. It's very relaxed.</p>
<p>tmanneopen, I was trying to start Science Olympiad this year, but the tournament is pretty soon and I don't think it's gonna work out this year. I got the support of the principle, and he's trying to get an advisor, but I think time is probably going to be too short. I did it in middle school. There are up to 16 people on a team, and there are 2 people assigned to each of the many. Then you just study for your events with your partner. I remember the competitions being pretty intense, some schools make a really big deal about it. Like this one girl tried to trick someone on my team by asking her pick up a pencil she dropped, but it wasn't actually there, to waste her time. But overall it was really fun and it felt especially good that our team did well, but it was the only year there was ever a team from my school district.</p>
<p>I founded the Young Democrats Club. It was difficult to start it because the administration gave me a lot of s***. We has voter registration drives and canvassed for Obama a lot. Someone tried to start a Young Republicans Club like two weeks after I started Young D's. It never really took off even though my school is full of conservatives. Silly Republicans.</p>
<p>I'd love to make a club. My first idea would be some sort of math club (our school has none!) yet all of the math/science teachers I've had have other commitments, so we can't get a teacher sponsor. I'd also like to start something computer science oriented, but again, no teacher. :(</p>
<p>Edit: I'm looking at the above post, and I wanted a young republicans club, but the teachers are... well, not republican, so that's an impossibility.</p>
