Recognized Organizations

 

Emporia State University has approximately 130 recognized student organizations including departmental, honorary, religious, special interest, service, recreation, and sorority/fraternity, which welcome participation by interested students. The Center for Student Involvement, located on the Memorial Union Mainstreet, has information on those organizations that are officially recognized by Associated Student Government. Additional information is available at the website <http://www.emporia.edu/csi/rso>.       

Recognized organizations have the privilege of scheduling campus facilities and requesting funds for activities from Associated Student Government. Allocations of student fees are made through the Student Senate. The directory and current contact information is available at <http://www.emporia.edu/csi/rso>.

HOW TO BECOME A RECOGNIZED STUDENT ORGANIZATION

The official recognition of a student group by Associated Student Government (ASG) grants to that group the following privileges:

              •   Use of the university name in conjunction with the group's name

              •   Scheduling of university buildings

              •   Use of university property and facilities

              •   Requesting funding from Associated Student Government

The RSO must agree to accept such regulations and administrative procedures as may be necessary to protect the essential functions of the university, to allow an equitable sharing of time and space, and to assure the reasonable health and safety of the campus community. As a matter of policy, ASG refrains from attempting to control or sway the personal opinions or beliefs of students. Recognition of a student group does not imply endorsement of positions taken by such a group. Responsibility for any actions that violate federal, state, or local laws or ordinances must be assumed by the individual groups, not by ASG or Emporia State University.
