Top 4 Strangest College Clubs

Going to college is a time for students to explore their identities and find like-minded people who share their interests.  School clubs are a great way for students to find others who enjoy the same activities.  But some school clubs are a little off the beaten path, such as the following:

1. Students for an Orwellian Society, Columbia University: This club seeks to promote the philosophies of IngSoc and Big Brother, as featured in George Orwells “1984.” These philosophies included eliminating individualism, controlling the people through fear, and destroying free thought.  Hopefully, the club’s activities are satirical in nature.

2.  The Harvard Tiddlywinks Society, Harvard University: While most students are playing games on video game consoles, the members of the Tiddlywinks Society get their kicks the old-fashioned way—by popping little plastic disks in the attempt to land on each other.

3. The Carleton College Mustache Club:  Members of this college club must have a mustache, or put a fake one on for special occasions.  Women are invited to join as long they promise will shave their face except for the area above their lips.  This weird club at least works for a good cause; they raise money for a domestic abuse shelter through the sale of T-shirts and pins.

4. Students Against Hippies in Trees: This club was formed on Facebook after students at the University of California at Berkeley camped out on trees to prevent the building of an athletic center.  The construction would have resulted in removal of the trees.  Presumably, this club these Berekely tree-huggers have gone too far.
