Get involved

Freshmen and current Lebanon Valley students explored what activities are available for them this school year.

LVC’s Student Activities Office held its annual student activities fair Wednesday, Sept. 7, and the social quad was packed with dozens of booths and an outdoor picnic giving students an opportunity to socialize and learn about student life on campus.

Despite the campus’s small size, LVC offers more than 70 clubs, so whether interested in science, volunteer work, the outdoors or an active Greek life, a club for almost every student exists.

Paige Diller ’16, President of Student Government, gave insight into the importance of being involved in organizations like hers.

“It allows student to interact and be a liaison between students and the larger facilities,” Diller said. “So you have a say as the college grows as to what we like and what we don’t.”

If spending time outside sparked one’s interest, then the Outdoors Club is the perfect fit. Adam Brock ’17, club president of the Outdoors Club, is hoping to continue to grow the club this year and one of the incentives is not having dues to join along with several trips this semester.

“The camping trip is currently waitlisted, but if enough people waitlist we will get another cabin, so we are encouraging people to still sign up,” Brock said.

LVC also has an active Greek life, with eight different sororities and fraternities. One of the service and social sororities on campus is Phi Sigma Sigma. They will be hosting several socials this semester.

“We are looking for new girls who are interested in Greek life,” Caitlin Dryden ‘18, club president of Phi Sigma Sigma said. “We are a lot of fun.”

The activities fair proved that despite the college’s small size in a rural town, plenty of clubs and activities to take part in give a student the complete college experience.
