Clubs & Organizations
This is what student life is all about.
Student life at Bethany is shaped by the people who show up, get involved, and make things happen. With more than 30 clubs and organizations on campus, there’s no shortage of ways to find your place, try something new, or build on what you already love.
From academic and professional groups to creative outlets, service opportunities, and student leadership, these experiences go beyond getting involved. This is where you build momentum. You’ll meet people who push you, take on real responsibility, and leave your mark on campus. Join in, take the lead, or start something of your own. There’s room here to make it yours.
Reach out to our Student Life Office to get involved!
STUDENT ACTIVITIES COUNCIL
The Student Activities Council, or SAC, is the largest programming group on the Bethany College campus. This group is student-run and gives those students participating a real world experience working with artists. SAC brings a variety of programs to campus each semester, including concerts, comedians, speakers, off-campus trips to places like New York City and Washington, D.C., and a variety of other smaller events throughout the year. All students are welcome to be a part of this group!

STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
The Student Government Association is the voice of the student body and the driving force behind student life at Bethany.
SGA is made up of three branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, and gives students the opportunity to represent their peers, lead initiatives, and shape the campus experience. The Executive Branch includes a student-elected President and Vice President, along with a cabinet of appointed student leaders who support everything from communications to event planning and club coordination.
Students are represented through their housing units and commuter population, ensuring a wide range of voices are heard. SGA leaders regularly meet with College administration, including the Dean of Students, to bring forward ideas, concerns, and solutions.
SGA also oversees the student activity fee, allocating funding to recognized clubs and organizations for events, speakers, travel, and programming. Budget hearings are held each semester.
Meetings are held regularly and are open to all students.
