New student organizations may form at any time. All new student organizations must have:
- At least four students enrolled full time
- Bradley University-employed staff member as an advisor
- A current constitution and by-laws
- May not be duplicative of any other currently active organization
Some student organizations require pre-approval including:
- Recognition societies, honor societies and academic organizations must have approval from the dean of their college to register.
- Club sports must be approved by the Director of Campus Recreation and Athletic Facilities.
- Communication and media groups, i.e. newspaper, radio station, literary journals, etc., must be approved by the Director of Student Activities.
- Fraternities and sororities must be approved by the Director of Student Engagement & Fraternity and Sorority Life.
Annual Organization Renewal
Student Organizations are required to renew every year beginning in April. Renewal “season” opens on April 1 and lasts until August 1. Student Organizations should plan to elect or select new officers in late March or early April to ensure proper transitioning and so new officers can participate in BOLT.
When the annual renewal process opens, one leader should complete the Transition process in BInvolved. To renew your student organization for the upcoming school year you must complete the BInvolved Transition process by August 1st. This will also ensure your organization is invited to participate in the Activities Fair held during Welcome Week.
The Bradley Organization Leader Training (BOLT) occurs each semester. As part of the annual renewal process, two leaders from every student organization are required to attend an in person session that covers all the basics for operating a student organization on campus. Students who are leaders of multiple clubs may earn credit for all of the organizations for which they are a leader.
If your organization has failed to renew, please contact Cory Bosco, Director of Student Engagement & Fraternity and Sorority Life at cbosco@bradley.edu for assistance.
Fraternities and sororities at Bradley University are values-based organizations formed around shared ideals, traditions, and lifelong bonds. Members of these organizations commit to supporting one another academically, socially, and personally. With 31 chapters across four governing councils, there are a variety of opportunities to find a fraternity or sorority that is right for you.
The Lewis J. Burger Center for Leadership and Service was established in 1996 to educate and prepare Bradley students to become effective leaders in their careers, families, and communities.
The Center consists of several major interdependent components:
For those looking to volunteer with fellow Bradley students at local community non-profits, public service organizations and more.
This organization coordinates volunteer opportunities for Bradley University students to build relationships within the community and meet local needs. SERVE strives to create and develop a sense of civic responsibility in Braves by providing opportunities for leadership through community service.
Please review the Community Services and Philanthropy Guidelines before getting involved through the Lewis J. Burger Center.
Student leaders join and collaborate in Senate to create positive changes on campus. Student Senators can always be approached personally, or at general assembly with issues you have on campus.
