To start a new club, submit a proposal to Student Activities. Your proposal must include:

1. Club Constitution: Use the sample constitution provided by Student Activities inserting the necessary information where appropriate to create your own document.


2. Club Data Sheet: A list of club officers and faculty advisor as well as signatures, outlined in the club constitution.


3. Club Roster: At least 10 club members (including officers). Club members must be Colby students.

The link to our word documents (at left) is temporarily "broken". If you'd like the New Club Proposal as a Microsoft Word document, please send email to Student.Activities@colby.edu .

After your proposal is submitted to and reviewed by the Office of Student Activities, it will be forwarded to the Student Government Association (SGA) for consideration. You may be invited to an SGA meeting to present your proposal should there be questions.

If your club is approved by SGA, the proposal will then be sent to Janice Kassman, Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students, for final approval by the Administrative Committee.

You will receive notification when your club has been officially approved by Kelly Wharton, Director of Student Activities. Once your club is approved, plan to meet with the SGA Treasurer to review funding information and club policies.

If your club is determined to be an athletic club, you will be notified and your proposal will be forwarded to the Athletic Department for approval.

Student Activities will review each proposal to make sure efforts/proposals are not duplicated by any existing clubs/organizations. Additionally, Student Activities reserves the right to deny a club/organization based on safety or liability risks to the students and/or the College.
