Too late to join clubs?

<p>I'm a sophomore and I made the mistake of not joining any clubs yet, a year and a half into college. </p>

<p>I know that generally any club wants more members, but when would you guys consider it too late to join a club, a school-run publication, or anything of the sort? I'm not worried about people "sticking together" with the people who joined earlier, meeting people is easy for me. I was just wondering if it makes any sense for me to join a club next semester (since there's only two weeks left to this one). Have any of you joined a club after freshman year that you're committed to now, or do people generally just join all their clubs freshman year?</p>

<p>Why not join it now?! I did not join a club or two until my junior year (now). It is NEVER too late. Heck! There are people who join in their senior year =)</p>

<p>At my school, clubs love when anyone joins, no matter if you are there for one year or all four years. I’m on the email list for this one club and in their weekly emails they encourage people to come check them out. Just last week I received an email from them encouraging new people to come to a meeting even though there are only two weeks remaining in the semester.</p>

<p>Basically: It is never, NEVER too late to join a club. The only real benefit of joining a club, say, starting your freshman year is that you could gain an officer position. But other than that, no one cares. They are just glad that you joined their club!</p>

<p>And no, a lot of people join clubs after freshmen year. Some might join only one their freshmen year and come across another club that interest them the following year. A lot of upperclassmen at my school browse the involvement fairs for a new club =)</p>

<p>It’s definitely never too late. I just joined to activities at my school, randomly, at the end of the semester and it’s fine. Really, it’s never to late.</p>

<p>It’s not too late, a lot of clubs organize some fun parties or events towards the end of the semester, whcih can be a good way to meet people.</p>

<p>That’s good to hear. Thanks guys!</p>
