Involvement Resources

SOA is your one-stop-shop for undergraduate involvement on campus! Please review the tabs below and to the left to better understand our department's offerings and how you can join in the fun.

Located on the third floor of Norris Center, the SOURCE is the gateway to Campus Life, the home of Student Organizations & Activities and Fraternity & Sorority Life. The SOURCE is a multi-purpose space where students and registered student organizations can meet to collaborate, innovate, learn, and lead.

Students will find large dry erase boards, computers and printers, monitors for projection for collaborative meetings, supplies and resources, and a new Mondopad featuring a multi-touch high definition display for digital interactive whiteboard and a built-in Windows PC. Full information about the paper printing and banner printing programs is available here.

With 450+ undergraduate student organizations at Northwestern, getting involved is easy. Learn more about our student organization offerings by visiting Wildcat Connection, Northwestern's student organization directory. Once you log-in to Wildcat Connection with your NetID and password, you can explore all our student organizations from a cappella groups and theatre organizations to community service groups and sport clubs. The Wildcat Connection events calendar shows students everything available to them sponsored by their friends' groups every week.

On Wildcat Connection you can:

  • Find student organizations' social media pages
  • Search upcoming events

While some registered student organizations at NU have barriers to involvement, the majority of student groups at NU are considered barrier-free. We define barrier-free organizations as ones that do not have any barriers to joining and participating in the organization, such as membership fees, GPA requirements, interviews with cuts, and auditions.  

Barrier-free organizations get a special "Barrier-Free Key" to put on their displays during the quarterly org fairs so anyone passing through can see what groups they can automatically join! Are you striving to make your org more inclusive and accessible to the student body? Reach out to Hayley Kretchmer for assistance!
