Student Organizations
Explore your passions — and discover new ones. You don’t have to be just one thing. With so many options in academics, athletics, and the arts, Denison is a place to explore your passions — and discover new ones. Double major in neuroscience and studio art? Go for it. Play varsity baseball and deejay at the Doobie student radio station? Why not? Join a fraternity, the bluegrass ensemble, and the Denison Film Society?

Home to 160+ student organizations
There’s a reason why Denison has more than 160 campus organizations: because at some point, an enterprising student or group of students started each one.
It’s a tradition that goes back to at least 1857 and the founding of the Denisonian, our campus newspaper and oldest organization. Since then, students have introduced groups with interests ranging from academic to spiritual, from fraternal to cultural, from service to athletics and beyond. Some thrive for decades, if not longer, while others rise and wane based on the strengths and commitment of their members.
What clubs can you join in college?
If you can think of it, there’s probably a club on your college campus for it. There are club sports, clubs geared to volunteering, culinary clubs, cultural clubs, STEM-related clubs, investment clubs, even a yo-yo club. You can find out about them all at involvement fairs, typically held on college campuses at the start of every new year. Don’t rule out starting your own club, too.
