Aside from Missouri Western’s increase in academic performance, the university is well known for its student involvement on campus. As soon as freshman step foot on campus, they become bombarded with different organizations competing for their involvement. So as a new member to the college community, which organization should one devote to?
The answer is all of them. Of course students don’t want to over-exert themselves and burn out in the first year of their academic careers. But the fact is that students involved in some type of organization have higher GPAs, better time management skills and better social skills, all of which are important post-college.
With so many organizations to choose from, where would a new student start? Go Greek! The Greek organizations on campus have proven to make up a majority of the attendance of other organizations, whether that’s Griffon Edge/Orientation, any departmental organization, Student Government Association, and many more.
There are three branches of the student government to become involved with, and all three bring great benefits to campus. Senate, Residence Council and Western Activities Council provide entertainment, programming and student development to all students on campus.
Just about every department has a professional organization to become involved on campus, which is a way to get to know other students with similar majors.

With over 77 student organizations on campus, it isn’t hard to find a niche somewhere at Western. Freshmen and seniors alike have made becoming active on campus a trend for incoming freshmen to look forward to.
