For most of you, though, you are still searching for your place here on campus. We at the Student Activities Council are here to tell you, no matter what your situation at the present time, you will find a home at Penn. We value the ability of Penn students to affiliate so well in such strong circles. The clubs that Penn students have generated over the years have accomplished so much – winning championships, pioneering innovation, celebrating culture, and giving back to the Philadelphia and surrounding communities, just to name a few accomplishments. We celebrate the fact that our University encourages student associations to thrive as well as they do, but recognize the fact that some things about the club culture here need to change. For the past few years now, SAC has been working with the Undergraduate Assembly and the Office of Student Affairs to address concerns of problems in club recruitment.
