High school's over and long gone are the days of forced participation. Now you're in college and you're faced with a wide array of extracurricular clubs and groups but where to start?
Rollins offers a wide selection of associations that appeal to all kinds of special interests. You might start of with the obvious Greek organizations but for those who don't want to devote that much time, dues and responsibilities there are less pressing. For those academic enough, there are a number of organizations that will admit you based on your GPA such as Phi Eta Sigma, the Order or Omega and the National Society for Collegiate Scholars.
There are also other kinds of Greek organizations that do not discriminate according to gender such as Sigma Alpha Iota, which is actually a professional fraternity for women interested in music as well as Rollins CEO and the International Student Organization. For those with an interest in sports, it may interest you to take a look at the Rollins Wakeboard Club, the Surf Club, The Royal Fencing Club of Rollins College, Rollins Equestrian Club, or Rollins Outdoor Club (ROC), which even has its own hall for its members and organizes outdoor events.
If religion is your calling, you can join the Campus Crusade for Christ, Hillel (Jewish) or the Muslim Student Association. There are also a lot of campus groups that stem from the number of majors Rollins has such as the Psychology Club, the International Business (INB) club, in which members often dine out together at a local ethnic restaurant and discuss current, international events, the Philosophy Club, the Society of Physics Students (SPS), Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS) and the Musicians of Rollins (MOR).
The 5 Stones project that raises money for the pueblo of Cruz Verde in the Dominican Republic, along with Habitat for Humanity are the groups to join if you're looking for a community service opportunity. There are those of us who like to like to make a difference on campus and for them there are groups like the Student Government Association (SGA), Residence Hall Association (RHA) and All Campus Events (ACE) which plans all the entertainment that comes to Rollins College. Other organizations involved in the media of Rollins College are our own beloved, Sandspur, the school radio station, WPRK, the school yearbook club, Tomokan and Rollins TV.
