Chestnut Hill College Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Joe

Our school has an endless amount of activities that go on, so I will mention a few for the sake of this response. For athletes, all of our teams (with the exception of the men's lacrosse team) compete in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, or the CACC for short. A few of the men's sports include: baseball, soccer, and basketball. A few women's sports include: basketball, volleyball, and softball. If you are more into the arts, our college puts on student-run plays and musicals. Along with this, there are also orchestra and choir concerts. Our school also participates in competitive Quidditch. A special event is held on our campus as schools from up and down the east coast come to our college to compete in the sport. Also, with the Metroplex and Plymouth Meeting Mall nearby, students always have something to do. Our school even sponsors trips to places such as Hershey Park, Broadway, and Phillies games, to name a few. The tickets are cheap, but the fun is endless.

There are a lot of sports teams on campus. We have 14 division 2 teams including soccer, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse and a lot more. We also have a Quidditch team. We also have a drama club known as Mask and Foil which is the oldest club on campus. I'll be Vice President of the club for the 2012-2013 school year and we hold a fall play that is student run, murder mystery dinners, improv nights, and we were involved with a Harry Potter Weekend. We also have a club known as the Association of Performing Arts (APA) which holds a student run musical in February, meetings with fun games, open mic nights and things like that. The school will have guest speakers come, or a magician, or a comedian, sometimes a hypnotist. Students do also tend to leave their doors open in the dorms unless they're studying or not there. Our school also has a Christmas weekend tradition where during the first weekend in December the school has Christmas decorating night which invlolves all the classes decorating a different portion of the school, then we have a carol night the next night where all the ensembles on campus perform Christmas carols and then we have a winter formal where we hold a dance and everyone gets all dressed up. There are no fraternities or sororities. There's plenty of activities to do if you don't drink, and there's not too much partying that goes on on campus, people usually go to other schools.

Everything is popular. Whatever your interest are you can start it here easily! I started a club that I started in my highschool that help sponsor a elementry school in Uganda. So many people were excited about it like I was and it was awesome to find people with the same interest. I also play tennis so the sports teams are really connected with eachother and the student body really rally's around volleyball and basketball teams!

We have somewhere around 30 clubs on campus. This varies from year to year because new clubs are always being made. To make a club on Campus all you need to do is fill out a form with you, and three other friends to get started. We have an annual club fair in the fall and spring semesters that have a table for each of the clubs so you can sign up. These clubs range from academic ones, such as the Biology Club, to literary ones, such as the newspaper or literary magazine, to ones just for fun like the archery club. Also, we have Student Government Association.
