<p>I know this is based on the person and that person's time, but how many clubs are people usually involved in? I have eight clubs that I'm looking at right now, and they are all athletic, social, or recreation clubs. Should I pick just pick about three that I like more or should I join eight, except that I split them up with other types of clubs like business, academic, and environmental organizations?</p>
<p>I am involved in two academic clubs and happy that I don't have commitments to more than that. In my first year I joined 6 (consecutively, not all at once) and I realized that I don't really care enough about most of them to squeeze them into a busy schedule.</p>
<p>I've got three, one of which meets about once every three months. The other two are primarily athletic/fun clubs in nature, which I stick with mainly to help myself get in shape. </p>
<p>I'm thinking about joining one more (academic) club next year, but I think that's about my limit. I don't like having commitments to too many places, and I'm pretty happy where I am right now.</p>
<p>1 that meets every 2 weeks (leadership council)
1 that meets every week (judicial board)
2 that meets 2x a week (Civic Leadership Development and Peer Tutor)
1 that's about 20 hours a week (a club sport that travels across the country to compete w/ other teams)</p>
<p>3 orgs/activites (only two have weekly meetings), and my fraternity.</p>
<p>I'm in one club that meets twice a week. My only advice is to figure out what you really like and make a commitment - don't join a club and only show up to half of the meetings.</p>
<p>I'm in one organization, the University Program Council (it plans campus events such as workshops, free movies, and concerts), which requires a weekly meeting with the general council, a meeting every two weeks with your sub-committee, and 4 hours a week of office time (I usually do more than 4). It's my most time-consuming organization.
The others I'm involved in are:
the Anthropological Society, of which I am the secretary. We have officer meetings once a month and general club meetings once a month (different weeks) as well.
and Global Tigers, which is kind of a volunteer thing for people who have studied abroad to work for the Study Abroad Fair and things like that. It only meets occasionally, when there is a need for volunteers.
I also try to attend College Democrats meetings whenever I'm available, but I'm not particularly active in it otherwise.</p>
<p>You should pick clubs that you really like and would be disappointed if you missed a meeting in them.</p>
<p>IMO, eight seems like a bit too much.</p>

<p>Too many classes....:(</p>
<p>Most people are usually in 0 to 1 clubs/organizations/activities.</p>
<p>I was involved in two. One is a professional society, and the second was just an intramural group.</p>
<p>I'm on the e-board of one club, a very active member of a second, do events/community service with a third but skip their meetings, and occasionally go to meetings/low-involvement events for two others. And I have a full course load and a job. Go ahead and start out in all your clubs and then you can prune some away if you find they're not as interesting as you thought or you don't have time for them.</p>
<p>Attend the first couple of meetings of all of them and then pick no more than 4.
I'm only really involved in one. I'd rather do a lot for one thing than a little for a lot of things.</p>
<p>I'm involved with 1, but I also do a number of other things that occupy my time (besides class I mean).</p>
<p>I was in 1 for my entire college career and ended it as a top-ranking official in the organization. Much more worth it then being a general member in 5 clubs.</p>
<p>sign up for 8</p>
<p>... then drop some, b/c you won't have time. But then you can choose after getting a taste of each one.</p>
<p>1 Sport club & 1 recreational club. I don't think I have enough time for more than 2 organization being the science major that I am.</p>
