Local Herbivores
What is your club about?
We promote veganism. It’s for the animals and the environment, as well as human health and wellness. We hold events like helping out other sanctuaries up here and holding vigils for the cows on campus, and cows and pigs and chickens and fish at slaughter houses. We’re trying to put an end to the slaughter house here and holding vigils and petitioning and raising awareness that these cruel acts are taking place on campus. It’s not an isolated case you see on Facebook.
Why should students join your club?
It is a cause that is growing each day. People are making the connection that animals are sentient and they deserve respect just as much as we do. It’s the healthful choice. It’s the best for the environment. Why not hang out with similarly-minded people?

Gamma Alpha Omega Multicultural Sorority
What is your club about?
We are a service-based sorority, so we do a whole bunch. We do a lot of events to bring awareness of bringing children into higher education. We host a dance with another fraternity, and we raise donations for kids who might not have the opportunity to get gifts for Christmas. We have fundraisers throughout the year, and everything we do is for the community.
Why should students join your club?
When I started looking into sororities, I didn’t really find the right fit until I found Gamma. For me, it was a great place because I felt welcomed. I knew this was the right fit because everyone was welcoming, they really helped me grow into the person I am today. All the service we do, the philanthropy, it’s so meaningful to me our sorority.

Logger Sports — Paul Riebe, captain
What is your club about?
It’s basically old fashioned logging, but as a sport. We’re an inner-collegiate team, so we play against teams around the area like the University of British Columbia (and) University of Montana. We do events like a pole climb, there’s chainsaw events, axe throw. Basically, it’s a sport made out of the industry of old fashioned logging.
Why should students join your club?
It’s just super fun, and you make good friends out of it and great memories. You get to travel to go to competitions. It’s nice to go out on a Saturday morning and get away from campus and the university. Just breathe some fresh air and blow some wood apart with axes. It’s really relaxing and a lot of fun.
