Clubs and Activities

Fraternities and sororities at Clarkson focus on their founding principles of leadership, scholarship, philanthropy, friendship, and personal growth. Fraternities have been a part of the University since 1903 and sororities since 1977. Together they have raised over $80,000 for charity and performed over 20,000 hours of service to the Potsdam community since 2001. 
Today Clarkson recognizes eight fraternities and four sororities. 

Fraternity and Sorority Organizations

If you like concerts, hypnotists, comedians, movies, open mic nights and other performances, you've come to the right place!The Clarkson Union Board (CUB) is Clarkson’s programming board and hosts a variety of campus events throughout the semester. CUB also co-sponsors events with other organizations and University offices and departments. 

CUB also sponsors and organizes two main concerts a year - one in the fall (FallFest), and one in the spring (SpringFest). Musical acts from past shows have included Panic! At the Disco, Waka Flocka Flame, Andy Grammer, Ra Ra Riot, Hoodie Allen, 3OH!3, Andrew McMahon and the Wilderness and PVRIS.

The Clarkson University Student Association (CUSA) supports Clarkson students through a variety of clubs and organizations and serves as the formal representative of the student body. Composed of the executive board, six senators from each class, a Clarkson School representative, and Graduate School representative, the CUSA Senate collaborates with the Clarkson administration on all decisions that affect Clarkson students. These decisions are made in Senate meetings or in one of the Senate's committees, which are open to all students. CUSA is also responsible for allocating to sponsored clubs and organizations; this is the activity fee you pay each semester. Find out more about CUSA and how to get involved.
