Any student on campus is familiar with social clubs and the image those clubs project. The connotation of social clubs doesn’t extend far beyond the reaches of parties, T-shirts and friendships-none of which are bad things. But when clubs try and put up a front and say that they exist to glorify God, I say that is a lie.

Believe me, the impression those of us outside the “club world” is that it has absolutely nothing to do with Christ. Social clubs try too often to play the Jesus card for the sake of saying they are projecting a different image than they are. If clubs really did exist simply for the Lord, they would look very different.

Social clubs are supposedly an integral part of the university. At one point in the university’s history, social clubs may have served an actual purpose. However, those days are long gone.

Some would argue that certain clubs weren’t involved in breaking the rules. Our campus should be about unity and the true nature of Christ. If social clubs aren’t doing that, maybe they no longer have a place here.
