CSES Student Clubs
The CSES Department and Bumpers College provide a wide array of student organizations for a wide range of student interests. With over 20 different clubs and organizations, students from all research areas have a chance to get involved, compete, and develop professional relationships for their future endeavors.
Joining clubs and organizations are great ways for our students to not only make friends and stay involved, but they often prove opportunities for volunteerism and professional development events that look great on resumes and make great talking points in a job interview.

Sigma Alpha is a professional agricultural sorority that promotes scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship among its members. The sorority was founded in 1978 at the Ohio State University by five women who wanted an alternative to the social Greek sorority system. Since that time, Sigma Alpha has become a national organization consisting of more than 80 chapters, comprised of undergraduate and alumnae members. Today, more than 19,000 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority.
The UARK chapter of SAS focuses on the scholarship (study hours, academic support) of members, professional development through guest speakers, workshops, etc., community service both agricultural and general, and fellowship/social activities among the sisterhood. It is focused on undergraduate students, has specific targeted recruitment times fall or spring (rather than open joining), and centers around AFLS related majors, although a certain percentage of students can be non-AFLS majors if they have an interest and care for agriculture and natural resources.
Recruitment FYI: Typically for recruitment, the group tables at Bumpers Bash (in the Fall) and then hosts an info night for interested students. There is a brief application process, interview, and if accepted, the chapter leadership offers prospective members a "bid" or spot that they can accept or reject. The incoming group, if they decide to continue, are "initiated" as member candidates, who then go through a member education program over the course of a few weeks to learn about the history, philosophy, and practices of the chapter and national organization. At the conclusion of the member education program, the member candidates are "activated" as new, fully privileged members of the Sigma Alpha Sorority.
