Student Organizations
There are eight Greek organizations on campus, four for women and four for men. There are no fraternity or sorority houses for residential purposes, but each organization has a chapter room located on campus. Women's sororities include Alpha Omicron Pi (chapter established 1975), Chi Omega (chapter established 1976), Alpha Kappa Alpha (chapter established 1999), and Phi Mu (chapter established 2008). The first men's fraternity was established in 1977 with a chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and was followed in 1981 by a chapter of Kappa Sigma. Recently, two more men's fraternities were added to Huntingdon's campus: Kappa Alpha Psi, spring 2008, and Sigma Nu, fall 2008.
Other organizations focus on political interests, including College Republicans and College Democrats. Service organizations include the Women's Center and the only collegiate chapter of the Exchange Club in the country, while other organizations, such as the Natural Sciences Club and Business Club, have an academic interest as their foundation. Other groups include the Outdoor Recreation Club and the International Students Association.
The Student Government Association can trace its beginnings to 1912 and consists of an executive cabinet, a President's Council, a Student Senate, and a Judicial Board, which considers infringements of the College's Honor Code.
Campus publications are student-run and include The Prelude (literary magazine), Bells and Pomegranates (yearbook), and The Gargoyle (newspaper).

Famous quotes containing the word student:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
