Here is a guide to forming a club at Tech.

1. To start a club, you need a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.

2. Now you need a club advisor. Ask around the student body to find out if a teacher may be interested in being your advisor. When you think you have a good one in mind, go to that teacher and ask if they'd like to be your advisor. If s/he says "yes", than you will need to work out a meeting room, day and time with them.

3. Next, go here & fill the club application out.

4. If approved, you should start making posters to advertise your club. You make a master copy of the poster, bring it to 7E4 and have it approved. They will stamp it, and then you will be able to make photocopies of that. Our library on the 5th floor has a photocopy machine that you can use for 10 cents a copy. Be sure to check your poster for pesky typos before you mass produce it.

Posters aren't supposed to have color or be on colored paper, but that rule is ignored for the most part, as many clubs are using them now.

As for hanging the posters up, you cannot hang them on wet paint (obviously), windows, or in the 1st floor center section. Also, you cannot hang up a poster within 20 ft. of an identical poster.

Various important information on clubs such as budgets, deadlines, etc is available here

Also, feel free to submit an article to this site about your club, or make a post in this student activity forum.

After you have your first meeting, then all you need to do is maintain the club with the advisor and other club officials.

Good luck!
