Groups/Clubs/Fraternities/Sororities/Orgnizations
Here at FIU there are many groups, clubs and organizations. So many in fact it can often be a lot to handle. Especially for Veterans. Here is a list of all the organization and clubs we have here on campus:
There are quite a lot. You might be wondering, why you should you join a group or club. You just left the military, when you hear group or club all you can think is team punishment.
Well, it's a bit different in this atmosphere. There are a lot of benefits to joining a club.
While we would like very much to go in depth in explaining each and every club on campus, it is simply beyond the scope of this site. We have compiled a much shorter compendium of some groups on campus, that we felt warranted specific attention.

I know shameless plug
You knew it was coming. Let's be honest, we can't operate a site like this without at least mentioning it. The SVA or Student Veterans Association is simply a must for all veterans and dependents coming to FIU. They can give you advice and knowledge specific to the GI Bill, Voc Rehab, and honestly just talk with you about the challenges of transitioning. It's hard and often times you might feel a bit estranged from your local student body. Membership is free and the environment is very relaxed. Stop in, say hi and meet the crew.
