<p>so I decided that starting a club would be great on applications and what not</p>
<p>but im having trouble thinking some up</p>
<p>so far I got,
Film Club
Jewish Appreciation Society (im not Jewish...not that theres anything wrong with that)</p>
<p>anymore?</p>
<p>lols...how about a volunteer club where you and a group of people can be called upon to volunteer whenever your community needs you?</p>
<p>^ That works.</p>
<p>I say a comic book club will work. I won't go into details unless you want me too, but it works. Set a goal for the club outside of just pure discussion of your favorite characters. Do something like "raise money to attend a Comic-Con convention". See how much fun that is and I know colleges will notice that.</p>
<p>Names include:
Weekly Crisis Club (poking fun at DC Comics' tendency to frequently publish a limited series with the word "Crisis" in the title just to boost sales)
Splash Page Club (splash pages are the large pages of enlarged art in a comic)
One Shot Club (an standalone issue that isn't part of any specific series)
Heroes & Villains Club (from Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys' song, makes sense too)
or, just you're plain ol' Comic Book Club</p>
<p>I could go on forever with the names.</p>
<p>You need a Shakespeare club. Don't like Shakespeare? Too bad.</p>
<p>i like the comic book idea since my main group of friends are all comic book fanboys lol so that can only help</p>
<p>anymore?</p>
<p>Like I said, having goals help. You say you want to go to a convention and raise funds to do so. Then when you're filling out apps, you can brag that you raised $2,000 to go see an advanced screening of Star Trek or some nerdy crap like that. Plus, it's very sincere!</p>
<p>None of that Greenpeace rubbish I see here at my school.</p>
<p>anymore suggestions?</p>
<p>Can a student start a national science honor society. My old school had 1 where i was a member but now my new school doesn't have 1.</p>
<p>lol I love the idea of a Jewish Appreciation Society, and I'm not jewish either.
I made an Amnesty International Club and a Newspaper Club since my school didn't have either.
I have a friend whose school has a cathartic screaming club where they just go into the gym and scream to release stress, lol.</p>
<p>it's nice that you want to found a club, but you're doing it for the wrong reasons. don't create a new club to bolster your applications. found a club only if you really believe in the cause! have you considered becoming president or another officer of other clubs?</p>
<p>if your school has a key club you should start kiwins just cause :)
rack up the competition, turn up the heat!!!</p>
<p>abercrombieindy, my friend started a national science honor society this year so yes, totally possible! :)</p>
<p>I agree with rhov. Your club is going to crash and burn when you realize you don't really care about it.</p>
<p>Or maybe it won't, and you get into a top university. But either way, you're doing it for the wrong reason.</p>
<p>culture club. <a href="http://www.fleen.com/uploads/2007/02/culture_club.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://www.fleen.com/uploads/2007/02/culture_club.jpg</a></p>
<p>I just had a revelation (ignore what I said about this being a bad idea). If you're going to start a club, do something really different.</p>
<p>Like an Aerospace Engineering Club. Instead of building model rockets or things like that, build air-based or ground-to-air military defense systems. Then you can blast those sad little rockets out of the sky.</p>
<p>Or a Spelunking Club. Something exciting.</p>
<p>i was gonna start cat club at my school, wed just go to concerts and talk about music and stuff, wed do funraisers for an animal shelter too, probs, it was pretty much gonna be punxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx club, we pretend to be obsessed with cats and wolves and stuff. i never got around to it though, maybe next year.</p>
<p>thank u for the insight Spruce</p>
<p>and to the nay-sayers --I want to start a club about something I really care about (e.g. film, video games, Jewish people) because it applies to my current predicament (getting into a college)...</p>
<p>why just sit around and watch movies with my friends, or play games with my friends, or adore Jewish people --by myself--, when I can make it into a club and help my college efforts?</p>
<p>but any suggestions are welcome dudes</p>
<p>Don't you think you should be starting a club because you want to start the club? Not because you want to go to college?</p>
