Starting a Club
Student Club and Organization Policy
Bryn Mawr College is committed to supporting a variety of student clubs and
organizations which are consistent with the educational philosophy and mission of the
College.
Social fraternities or sororities are not permitted at the College. The College has
determined that students are better served by the numerous non-exclusive student clubs
and organizations which exist on campus. Bryn Mawr College does not recognize the
charter of any social fraternity or sorority. No College facilities (including all public and
private spaces, bulletin boards, and campus mail) can be used for any social fraternity or
sorority activities.
Violation of this policy by any student constitutes a violation of the social honor code and
may result in disciplinary sanctions.
Steps for starting a new club
1. Explore the clubs already in existence at Bryn Mawr College before starting a club. If a
student finds that we do not have a club which is of interest to them they can choose to
start their own club. However, the club must be different than any club already on
campus.
2. Gain interest and members from the student body by hosting an event. A minimum of
five member is required for any new club.
3. Once you have five members you can petition the Office of Student Activities to start a
new club. Petitions are accepted in September and January and the petition form will be
available on the Student Activities website during the first two weeks of each semester.
4.If funding is desired, the new club must submit a written consistitution to SGA's Student
Finance Committee in the beginning of the semester. Please review the Constitution
Guide for a template. Consitution Guide (pdf) (doc)
5. All clubs are required to register each academic year with the Office of Student
Activities at the beginning of the fall semester.

*Midnight Gaiety
This is a queer cabaret-style variety show. We want to create a production that opens up a
space for queer performance that encourages exploration and celebration of all
intersectional queer identities. We want this to be an anti-oppressive space that supports,
empowers and respects identities marginalized by mainstream society, through creative
expression in performance.
The purpose of this organization shall be to celebrate and explore a multiplicity of queer
identities and experiences through a series of short performance acts (burlesque, drag,
spoken word poetry, music, comedy, etc.). These acts are meant to be sex-positive, bodypositive, and queer-positive creative expressions of self. We want this to be an inclusive
and supportive space for queers, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals, trans* folks, gender
non-conforming people, people of color, people of different religious affiliations, people
of all sizes and shapes, women, survivors of violence, differently abled people, people of
all immigration statuses, and people from all class backgrounds, as well as members of
any other marginalized identity not listed. Throughout the production & performance of
this show we aim to hold each other accountable as performers and audience members,
and learn together about identities and systems of oppression in performance. Additionally
we will collect donations for local non-profit LGBTQ+ organizations.

Ellipsis
We are a group of Bryn Mawr students dedicated to providing the story slam experience
for the BMC campus. Our group name, Ellipsis, originates from an Ancient Greek word
meaning “omission” or “falling short.” An Ellipsis (grammatically symbolized as “…”)
has come to represent a space in a piece of writing where words or sentences have been
omitted. It can also indicate an unfinished thought, a pause, or a silence that cannot be
otherwise portrayed in language. It is these silences and omissions that captivate our
group within the context of storytelling; by calling ourselves “Ellipsis”; we seek to find
the language for these omissions, as well as embrace the power that can be held in silence.
By encouraging a multiplicity of stories, we hope to feed the campus “ecosystem,” build
community, and establish connections with the environment around us.
