What clubs/teams/organizations were you part of during college/university?

I was president of our chapter of Habitat for Humanity. I left due to too much red tape preventing me from doing anything large scale. Unfortunately, I had to get approval from our local HFH chapter, get approval from the deans, from our adviser, and more often than not, approval had to go all the way to HFH of the USA, and even once to HFH International. I moved on towards organizations that allow me to accomplish things.

I am currently:
* President of the Society of Marketing Entrepreneurs - we do all the marketing, promotion, advertising, and public relations for campus organizations and local not-for-profits. Not to mention the education aspect of everything not taught in a classroom environment.

* Marketing Director for Amrhein Investment Fund - we play with $1.4 million dollars. Invested in all sorts of securities. We educate students about personal finance, beginning investing, etc. I'm the one who makes people aware of us.

* Justice on our United Student Government - I'm the guy who helps campus organizations get started and get all the funding they need from the student government, and decide if legislation is constitutional or not.

I worked full time through college, so I guess I was on the bartending team.

At school, I was captain of the swimming team for 2 years, represented the school in a few triathlons, and had the Bass chair in the big band for a year. Didn't really do all that much else.

At University, I was the secretary, and then the Chairman/president of the Kayaking club, and had the bass chair in the Big Band for a year. Didn't really have a huge amount of time for anything else when I was at Uni.

Earth Awareness - President
Chamber singers - sang bass in that, go figure.
Veterans club
Fine Arts club

I doubt I'll have time for clubs this term. I'll be too busy with classes, my job, & trying to land more gigs.
