I'd love to talk about that.

In all honesty, it's actually a fairly simple process. The first step is you have to get the idea down on paper. You have to have a good idea of what you want your group to do. For example, A-Team was originally part of another group that dealt with a lot of different ideas. However, we weren't happy with some of the rules placed on us and, in the best interests of our members and the student body, decided to separate. We created A-Team to fix a problem.

And that's something else. Once you know what your group wants to do, you need to make sure someone else isn't already doing it. If the goals of your group is exactly the same as another, then you probably won't become a club.

After all that's set, you have to get people together. You can get as many as you wish, but there must be at least 15 people. Once you have that support, come together and write up your constitution. That's basically a booklet that outlines everything your group stands for. That includes everything from your goals, how will the club be run, how will you decide who is running it, things like that.

The next step is the hard part for some groups. You now have to go in front of the Student Association and present your case. Talk with the Executive Board and make sure they are ready for you. There are certain requirements you need to meet and once you show them it, they'll give you the green light and a date. Then, all you have to do is create a presentation and present it to the Student Association.

If you do a good job, then you'll become a SMC Club and have a budget of your own.

That's about it. I know it seems like a lot but it's really not the big a deal if you really want it. If you have any further questions, or questions about anything else, then you know where to find me.
