What are some enjoyable clubs or activities on campus to get involved in?
I’m a freshman at Lehigh University and I’ve noticed that I haven’t joined any fun clubs yet—only finance and professional development ones that enhance my resume. I’m looking for suggestions on clubs or activities that you all participate in that bring more fun to campus life. (And I’d like to steer clear of dance or singing clubs, please!)
Welcome to Lehigh! It’s great that you’re looking to add some fun to your campus experience. Here are a few ideas for clubs and activities that can help you unwind and meet new friends:

Sports Clubs: Join an intramural or club sport that interests you! Whether it’s ultimate frisbee, rugby, or even something less traditional, it’s a fun way to stay active and meet new people.
Crafting or DIY Club: Get creative through various arts and crafts projects. It’s a great way to unwind and make something fun while meeting others who enjoy being hands-on!
