How legit are clubs at your school?

<p>My school website like to boast about how the school has over 30 clubs. </p>

<p>Most of these clubs are clubs where there will be only one meeting for the whole school year. I know that most of these clubs are created so that people can have fake leadership positions.</p>

<p>The "community service" clubs have a special fee to get in. Most of the meetings are discussions about how the money has been used to help fund charities. There aren't any actual community service activities.</p>

<p>So, does this happen at your school? Or is this some sick, twisted system that only happens here?</p>

<p>Eh, we have like five clubs that nobody actually joins. But none of them were created just for the leadership positions as far as I know.</p>

<p>On the school website and handbook they’ll have tons of clubs listed but you only hear about less than half of them and I think the others either don’t exist or that list hasn’t been updated in years.</p>

<p>Some are legit. Like our student government does something everyday. Csf on the other hand, twice a year.</p>

<p>A lot of clubs are “fake” I agree.</p>

<p>There’s a volunteer club that costs $30/year to be in. ??? Seriously???</p>

<p>Two of the clubs I’m in meet very regularly but have no positions. The fake clubs do…
It stinks.</p>

<p>There are only 5 clubs at my school - LITE Team (community service), Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Student Council, Thespians, and NHS. Lite Team and FCA are pretty active clubs but not so much the other three. Stuco is the only one with actual positions.</p>

<p>My school’s site doesn’t list clubs on the site, only sports. We have about 15-20 clubs. Most clubs (if not all) meet at least weekly. The Environment Club picks up trash outside the school twice a week, and empties our recycling cans everyday.</p>

<p>All clubs are free at my school. If a club is part of some national group that requires a fee, then the club covers the cost of joining. Most clubs sell pizza and cookies after school to raise money.</p>

<p>all the clubs at my school are pretty much jokes. they are ‘student led’ but the students don’t ever do anything, it always fall on the sponsor to do everything</p>
