<p>I'd really appreciate advice from people who've been in a business club at their school, but I'd also appreciate general advice in forming a club.</p>
<p>Well I'm in the thinking stages of forming a business club at my school, only I don't really know how it will be structured or what exactly we'd be doing. I probably sound clueless, I know. Just some general questions I hope to get answered so I can straighten some things out:</p>
<p>-How often does a club normally meet a week and for how long?
-What's the best way to lure members into your club? I'd probably need something better than a mere bulletin post.
-What exactly should I be basing the club around? Or in layman's terms, what in the world would we be doing in our meetings? Just talking about our career business aspirations and stuff? </p>
<h1>2 problem: Find friends to hold up positions like ICC Rep, AS Rep, etc.</h1>
<p>I don't have answers to any of your questions, but if you need an extra person for your club when you are registering your club, let me know. And make me vp =]</p>
<p>Also, we (SMC) already have a business club called the Rotaract Club, so you might find some competition in luring people into your club.</p>
<p>I should be able to provide useful information. I am VP of Finance for the DVC Business Org. </p>
<ol>
<li>Our club meets on a weekly basis </li>
<li>The best way to collect members is to adverstise around campus, table in your quad, post bulletins, make announcements during class - make sure you make it sound worthwhile otherwise people will not attend.</li>
<li>You could basically base your meetings on anything - make sure you have a step by step agenda, that really helps with the flow of the meeting. Some of the things you could do is 1. Workshops, 2. Informational Presentations, 3. Mock-Trials (Interview). There are plently of things that can be done.</li>
</ol>
<p>I'd also suggest getting in contact with Phi Beta Lambda, they can provide support.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know of all the requirements to form a club. It's just what to do when it's formed is what I'm a little confused about. </p>
<p>Well, according to the Rotaract Club description its purpose is to "enhance skills that will assist students in personal/community development." I'm basically gonna be going for a much more broader approach that will lure people interested in all aspects of business (management, finance, consulting, marketing, etc). </p>
<p>Btw, how'd you guess that I'm at SMC? Haha...</p>
<p>How many units for the 3.0 from college? I fall a little below the 3.5 from high school. Is it really a worthwhile club to join? It just seems way too popular for it to really stand out in anyway in an application.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's pretty popular, so I'm not sure how much it stands out. However, it's popular because AGS gives you a transcript notation (on your official transcript) for each semester you complete. I don't know how it looks, but AGS and PTK are supposedly the only two clubs that give these transcript notations. Also, there's an award you can get in AGS called the President's award which only a few AGS members receive that you can list in your extra curriculars (complete 100 hrs of community service). If you go for the President's award, you'll likely meet most of the 250 or so members in AGS during the community service events. With that, you can run and easily become President of AGS for next semester.</p>
<p>Of course, if you're planning on a 1-year transfer, AGS is totally irrelevant.</p>
<p>12 units of 3.0 avg gpa from college. You have to talk to an AGS advisor about your high school GPA if you want to try to get in for this semester.</p>
