Get Involved! 

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: IF NOT, CREATE IT!
Unsure of what to do at Notre Dame? Well don't be, there are tons of things to do. It can be rather overwhelming to pick what clubs, activities, and events you want to do, so we've tried to give a quick overview.

There is ALWAYS something going on here. Visit the official Calendar of Events to see what's happening on campus! Also check out the student group calendar to see what other cool events are here!
​
Clubs:
There is a club for everyone on this campus. Can't find the one you want? Create it yourself! Activities Night gives you the chance to browse all the possible clubs (the date will be set early in the year). Every club on campus will have its own booth (and usually some pamphlets or free stuff) and tell you all about their organization.

Sports:
Football - Everyone knows about ND football. It will pretty much take over your life first semester, even if you claim not to be a big football fan (trust us, that will change). Just don't forget to support our other sports teams, such as soccer, hockey, swim meets, baseball, etc. If you're interested in playing sports, on the other hand, try out for a varsity sport - it might help if you contact a coach as soon as you can to let them know who you are and that you will be trying out. Club sports are also an option. And how can you not be interested in interhall sports? Walsh offers a ton of fun inter-hall sports, and is currently the Interhall LaCrosse champions! RecSports also offers opportunities to participate on coed teams and many classes (such as aerobics and yoga) are offered at Rolfs, which is a workout facility.

Arts
Are you an actor, singer, or dancer? If you're interested in being in a choir or the band, there are plenty of opportunities. Auditions for the official Band of the Fighting Irish, Handbell Choir, concert band, Dance Company, Transpose Dance, etc. are very early in the semester, so watch out for that day! The Theatre Department will hold auditions for their fall production in the first couple of weeks. Get involved with cast or crew - it's a great way to meet people! If you want to get involved but aren't a theater major, PEMCO puts on an excellent fall show every year (last year it was "Into the Woods"!) Dancers, look into the Swing Club or even try out for the Pom Squad! Become a Glee Club Groupie and swoon at the Undertones' (a capella group) concerts. Anyone who loves music, make sure to check out the various artists coming to Legends, Notre Dame's on-campus nightclub, each weekend - rumor has it that some great bands are possibilities for this year!

Service:
The constant and voluntary involvement in service is one of the most unique and rewarding aspects of our school. Whether you're interested in building and repairing houses with Habitat for Humanity or working with children in the Big Brother Big Sisters Organization, there will be something for you. If you aren't quite sure what you want to do yet, check out Circle K, which offers a myriad of opportunities in service. Also, Geddes Hall, home of the Center for Social Concerns (CSC) has some great programs and seminars that can help you get involved in service. Don't forget about the service projects offered over Fall and Spring Break in various places such as Appalachia, New York City, and Washington D.C. ND also offers social justice clubs, such as the Right to Life Club and Amnesty International. Another option is to check out Campus Ministry and go on the First Year Retreat for more info about opportunities.
