<p>are there any service fraternities or organizations that aren't predominantly one race?</p>
<p>same question with religion/belief- affiliated clubs-- i know intervarsity is pretty diverse but what about the other ones?</p>
<p>of course i'll check them out and see for myself, but i'd really like to get to meet different types of people, not just ALL asians, etc (no offense, hey, i'm asian too)</p>
<p>juuuuuuust wondering</p>

<p>It is a well-established group.</p>
<p>There are some non-traditional sororities who are less reputed to be partying-based. That and they are "diversity/cultural" based. There are some other names out there with the same ideas. Examples include: Tau</a> Theta Pi</p>
<p>The downside is that specific example is new and not as established. </p>
<p>As for religions/belief: where to begin...</p>
<p>Check out Circle K! We're the largest service organization on campus with an emphasis on working with children. We pride ourselves on being non-denominational and diverse in our membership. Check us out if you're interested in service.</p>

<p>Campus Crusade? Passion Church ? Grace on Campus (used to be).</p>
<p>I've passed by or observed them from being on the second floor of Kerckhoff. It's a pretty diverse group - not just students from UCLA. It tends to attract older people I think. It looks like a lot of fine. I kinda wanted to do it this summer quarter but I didn't want to walk home really late.</p>

<p>You're learning! How titillatingly delightful.</p>

<p>It's really Key Club and Builders Club-like. I've only been to a meeting with a friend so I can't say much; maybe keywon can tell you more.</p>
<p>My opinion is that it's really 'yao jee' (for the lack of a better English description, I had to use Chinese) with a "gotta serve them all" theme. Reminds me of a high school meetings with service events on the weekends. I guess if you loved serving in Key Club and being around those people, then you'll like it. You can also try APO . . . I think it's a bit similar to Circle-K.</p>
<p>Well in response to the comment about Circle K being kiddish and what not, I'll say this. No other club on campus or any other student organization around the Los Angeles area does the breadth and depth of service that the UCLA Circle K does. I've got the numbers to prove it too.</p>
<p>It's unlike Key Club and Interact because the members don't do what they do for college applications (we're already here aren't we?). Just like any other club we have our range of personalities but we do however lack ingenuine people... they wouldn't waste their time.</p>
<p>If you're interested in contributing to the community while at UCLA and want an outlet for that, then by all means check up out for yourself... we have an excellent retention rate mostly because of the genuine friendliness our leadership and members share (this is from testimonials)... you won't find that in too many other clubs on campus.</p>
<p>And as high of an asian population as our club has, we don't by any means inherently exclude like "Asian-American ________" and etc. If anything, we're actively looking to recruit all ranges of people to make our club as diverse as the student body at UCLA is. We don't need greek letters to unite around or pride in a certain race to do what we do. All we're looking for is good people who want to help in anyway possible. </p>
<p>Doing service shouldn't have anything to do with race or culture... I think it's a universal need that everyone should be able to rally around regardless of differences.</p>
<p>Breadth? I thought that it emphasized on working with children?</p>
<p>But yeah... that turtle/monkey thing... is a bit too cutesy.</p>
<p>No, I'm not Keith...and besides, I'm a girl...</p>
<p>And Circle K doesn't just focus on working with children...and perhaps our mascot is a little cutesy, but there's more to it than being cute.</p>
