WHY SHOULD I JOIN CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS?
WHY SHOULD I JOIN CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS?
Being part of clubs and organizations helps you gain real-life experiences from the specific groups you choose to join. By actively participating, you develop invaluable skills and build meaningful connections with your fellow members.
HOW MANY CLUBS OR ORGANIZATIONS AM I ALLOWED TO PARTAKE IN?
Students are highly encouraged to join only up to three (3) clubs or organizations, provided their schedules do not conflict. This does not include clubs and organizations that have irregular schedules and strand-based organizations.
IS JOINING CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS REQUIRED?
Partaking in clubs and organizations is optional, but highly encouraged. Students have the freedom to choose those that align with their interests.
CAN I CREATE A NEW CLUB?
Yes, students have the right to propose and establish a new club. However, please bear in mind that it may take some time, as it will go through a careful screening and approval process by the SHS Organization Accreditation Committee (SHS-OAC).
WHEN DO CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS HOLD MEETINGS?
Generally, most clubs and organizations hold regular meetings every Wednesday. Nonetheless, some may hold it on a flexible or as-needed basis. To discover the specific schedules of your chosen clubs and organizations, students are encouraged to refer to SCOPE-it-Out!
DO ALL CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS REQUIRE INTERVIEWS OR AUDITIONS?
No, some clubs and organizations do not require interviews or auditions. The requirements vary depending on the group’s discretion. That said, clubs and organizations with higher levels of commitment are more likely to hold interviews and screenings for their applicants.
WHAT IF A STUDENT DOES NOT ATTEND CLUB OR ORGANIZATION MEETINGS?
Members who do not attend meetings without proper grounds for an excuse will be recorded as absent and may face corresponding consequences under their club or organization’s policies, such as a warning or other related sanctions.
AM I AUTOMATICALLY PART OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COMMITTEE IF I’M A MEMBER OF THE SCOPE STUDENT COMMITTEE?
No, they are separate entities working for different organizations. The SCOPE Student Committee is solely operating under the SCOPE Executive Board. If a student wishes to serve both committees, they may apply separately to the SCOPE Student Committee and the Student Council Student Committee.
WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS RELATED TO CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS?
For any inquiries or concerns, students may always reach out to DLSU SCOPE through its official communication channels:
Facebook – DLSU SCOPE
Instagram – @dlsu.scope
Email – dlsuscope@gmail.com
You may also directly communicate with your chosen club or organization through their official social media pages or email addresses, which can be accessed via SCOPE’s website, SCOPE-it-Out!
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS I WANT TO JOIN HAVE CONFLICTING TIME SLOTS?
To ensure that students can fully participate and properly contribute to their clubs and organizations, they are encouraged to carefully consider time conflicts before committing to multiple groups.
HOW DO HIGH-COMMITMENT AND LOW-COMMITMENT CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS DIFFER?
High-commitment clubs and organizations usually have more challenging and stricter requirements during both the application process and membership tenure, including a greater need for the student’s time and participation. Conversely, low-commitment groups are more flexible in scheduling and may require less member involvement.
