Clubs & Organizations

BSA Sponsors over 30 different clubs and organizations. From club sports to academic and honor societies—and everything in-between— there is something for everyone. See the list below of current clubs. If there is something you're interested in and you don't see it, check out the link below for information about starting a new club or organization. If you have any questions, contact Kristin Kirkwood, student body vice-president, at kristin-kirkwood@bethel.edu.

Looking to start a club?
