Discover Student Organizations

There are plenty of things you can do in your off hours, but none pay off quite so well as getting involved in student organizations on campus.

Think about it. When you join a student organization, you make friends, explore new interests, and learn skills that will help you succeed wherever you go after college. What could be more valuable than that?

There are opportunities for students to participate in over 500 registered student organizations at East Carolina University! ECU has a variety of groups that include everything from student government, artistic and special interest groups, greek life, to health and wellness, social, cultural and identity interest groups, religious organizations, and sports and recreation clubs, and more. If you have an interest, we have a student organization for you!
