Student Organizations
Contact our Student Life Office if you need help finding the right student organization for you. They will set up a 15 to 30 minute consultation so you can discover what your genetic material says you are likely to be interested in. Students like to use this resource as a guide, not so that it can make their decision for them. Remember, every organization is open to all Hux students. Huxley encourages you to get involved and try something new!

Academic OrganizationsAt Huxley, learning does not end when you step outside the classroom. Our student-run academic organizations will help foster your intellectual interests on every level!
-Gamma Epsilon Fraternity- GE is our genetic engineering fraternity which offers a group of motivated students an opportunity to meet to discuss and prepare for the genetic engineering industry. -The Huxler- Our campus newspaper offers opportunities to cover ground breaking research at Huxley, and write editorials on ethics and campus life. Even our sports coverage has a genetic beat, since Huxley Athletes are recruited based on their DNA. -Evolution Enthusiast Club- For those fascinated with where they came from and where they are going. -Saturday Neuroscience Seminars- Your genes got you in to Huxley, but your brain does the heavy lifting when it comes to learning. Discover the neurological process behind memory and higher thinking with Professor Henry Perowne's Saturday Neuroscience lecture series. -Honors Societies- Our honors societies are always evolving. As with the application process our honor societies believe that your merit is more complex than a transcript. Placements are based on your genome analysis. |
Athletics and the Outdoors-Survival of the Fittest Club- Come join us if you contain all the best of Darwinian principles. SFC is sure to test your skills in the wild during our challenging camping trips and competitive outdoor events.
-Beaglers Rowing and Sailing Club- For all those with the genes of a sea creature (and some with genes of an ox to propel our crew boats to victory) come check out the Beaglers. Don't worry if you don't have the heredity of two ivy league parents we can still teach you how to row and sail. -The PolymeRACERS– Bikers, runners, and swimmers come one, come all. We train and compete in triathlons. No need to be a genetically qualified triathlete to participate. -All Shapes Leagues- Come pick on someone your own size in one of our intramural athletics leagues where tiers are determined by the same base pair that made you 5'3 or 6'4. Just some humble Helices passionate about their love for Mother Earth. Stop by our booth on the quad to stock up on some vegan soap bars. |
The Arts-The Singing Helices-
To all males who ever had regrets that they inherited a squeaky soprano or a disturbingly low bass, regret not. The Singing Helices are Hux's own male acapella group, and we need voices of all tones and pitch to give us our sweet sound. (If your tone sensing allele is absent we could always use beatboxers) -Brave New Word– A creative writing club. We are focusing on dystopias this semester. -Art Exchange– A celebration of the creative soul of the homo sapien. Our large scale art exchanges are held on the first Saturday of every month. Make art to take art! |
Social LifePart of education will always be beyond the sciences and humanities. No matter what your parents may think, you cannot be holed up in your room studying at all hours of the day. Huxley social organizations help maintain a healthy work play balance. Remember, according to the human genome, 99.9 percent of our DNA is identical. We are more alike than different, and you will definitely find a social organization that works for you.
-The Bluestocking Society- Brains and Beauty, these girls got it all! Women in this organization occasionally sport blue socks, just for the irony. All intelligent women welcome! -Galapagose Finch Party– Students for Finches, a nonthreatening sect of students who are petitioning to change the school mascot to something a little more lively. But what can be more lively than the very code for life? Meetings are primarily an excuse to eat food and socialize. -Delta Tau Rho- If your genes guide you to "live it up", this fraternity specifically caters to you. We host social events at the DTR house on campus which are always a blast. Come out, just make sure you are predisposed to party. - Iota Delta Kappa- IDK is a fraternity for both sexes if they pretty much don't know what they are into. Whether you are coded with an aversion to all things social or were built to be a social butterfly you will find a connection through IDK. Expect stimulating conversation, a melting pot of personalities, and without a doubt, new friends who are Helices just like you. -Extinction League– Contact Matt Adam for more details at [email protected] |
