Clubs Open House

For the better part of an hour on Thursday morning (Aug. 18), there was controlled chaos in Oliva Courtyard just outside of the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

There, most of Jesuit's 48 clubs had set up stations for the annual Clubs Open House. The respective club officers (and moderators) then set about educating and recruiting their 800+ fellow Jesuit students to join their club for the 2022-23 school year.

Clubs Open House, which is typically during the second week of the school year, is one of the biggest annual on-campus events. It has a major impact throughout the school year, as clubs at Jesuit provide students with myriad options for pursuing their passions.

On Thursday, hundreds of Jesuit students surveyed the dozens of enriching club options: service-oriented clubs, faith-related clubs, academic and pre-professional clubs, athletic clubs, and performing and fine arts clubs. 

Many are newer clubs seeking to establish a foothold in Jesuit's robust club scene, such as the Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Club, Songwriting & Music Production, and the Flying Tigers/Aviation & Aerospace Club.

Others have quickly become fixtures in a few years' time and made a major impact on student life at Jesuit, such as the Pre-Medical Club, Native American Club, The Company/Business Club, African American Club, Outdoorsman Society, and Italian Club.

Many more are long-time, award-winning pillars of Jesuit student life, such as Robotics, Latin Club, Pro Life Club, Don't Feed the Artists, Rho Kappa, Altar Servers, Hockey, La Gente, Key Club, Pep Band, S.A.D.D., Peer Ministry, Masque (drama club), and the Environmental Club.

Through the school's varied and extensive club offerings, Jesuit students are developing their talents and leadership skills. Jesuit clubs are under the direction of the school's Director of Student Activities, Austin Freeman '02.
