NOS IUNGIT AMICITIA

friendship binds us

This student society was created as an opposing force to the traditional societies during the seventies, in 1971, when liberation and innovation were at its peak. It moved away from the strict rules and gender roles and tried to diffuse most society systems. Diversity is key and everyone is welcome. Nowadays there are no fraternities or sororities but several clubs that explore different interests one might have, regardless of gender.

There is a big focus on the environment and this society holds yearly events to promote a green future. For the minimum-needed order a board was created that changes yearly and for which elections are held. Anyone can apply, no matter your standing.

Society-wide events include:

Yearly board election & initiation party

Yearly Hyde Park cleanup

Yearly anniversary party

Yearly party to welcome new members

Monthly refreshment weeks (Relaxed get-togethers to promote mental health)

Career events (every three months, ranging from interview-prep to recruitment days)

Note: Every club can also organize events to their liking.

Students join at the beginning of the school year. Whilst this society has some traditions, it is generally a much more casual society that requires as much effort as one is willing to put in. The students pay a membership fee to the society but this fee purely exists to cover events.
