No student should miss the opportunity to experience life beyond the classroom at Tech. Through involvement with student activities and leadership development initiatives, students will find their Tech experience more enjoyable, more meaningful and more educational.

Whether you decide to become involved in institutional decision making and allocation of student fees, pursuing a special interest/talent through a club, developing lifelong friendships with a Greek-letter organization, helping to communicate to and about Tech through student media, or serving the community for the greater good of our world and campus, we have the opportunity for you.

You’ll be amazed at how much you grow by doing what you love and how much you will feel more motivated to do well academically when you get involved in activities. Participation in student life will make the difference between a pretty good college experience and an exceptional one!

Georgia Tech offers many opportunities to enjoy life beyond the classroom…
  • Student Government Association (SGA) – Undergraduate and Graduate students can find numerous opportunities to serve the campus community by getting involved with SGA. The executive branch of SGA has numerous committees both within SGA and on the campus at large that need student involvement. Representatives to the legislative body, the decision makers, are elected annually. The judiciary hears cases of student misconduct and provides constitutional guidance organizations.


  • Campus Organizations – There are over 300 organizations on campus. These include community service, Greeks, professional and honor societies, cultural and diversity groups, sports clubs, recreation groups, publications and production, and religious and spiritual organizations. If you can’t find one that fits your interests, you are always welcome to start one of your own.


  • Community Service Volunteering – The Office of Community Service houses M.O.V.E. (Mobilizing Opportunities for Volunteer Experience), which is an organization consisting of 16 committees that address a plethora of issues in addition to providing many additional service opportunities throughout the year.


  • LeaderShape – This intensive, interactive six-day leadership development program is available to all undergraduate Georgia Tech students and it focuses on self-assessment, reflection, and feedback associated with leadership development. For more information, visit the Leadershape website.


  • Conference Diversity Issues and Programs – Students can develop leadership skills by serving on committees like Kwanzaa, Religious Awareness Week, Disability and Diversity Week, or GT COW (Coming Out Week). Students can also serve on the Diversity Forum, a campus-wide initiative that offers students the opportunity for the open exchange of ideas around diversity issues. Workshops and training opportunities are conducted for students and student groups. Georgia Tech is a campus affiliate of the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI).


  • Student Publications – With five student publications (Technique, Blue Print, North Avenue Review, Erato, and T-book), there are many ways for students to get involved in student publications.


  • GT SMART – GT SMART enhances the overall learning environment at Tech through a campus/community coalition, which manages a series of initiatives to reduce the high-risk drinking by students.


  • Greek Life – Fraternities and sororities are an excellent way to make new friends, volunteer in the community, get involved on campus, and have fun! With 42 organizations from which to choose, there is something for everyone. For more information, visit the Greek website.
