Define RSO

Colonel Journal: Guiding your transition to colonel country

What is an RSO?

RSOs are Registered Student Organizations. RSO’s at EKU include a group of 6 or more current EKU students who have formulated an organization for a common purpose. EKU is home to over 270 RSOs! We are confident that all students will find a group perfect for them, but in the case that they don’t, EKU students have the option to find 5 friends and create their own group.

So, how do you create an RSO? How did you find RSO’s to join?

If you are creating your own RSO, you must ensure that you have 6 members who are current EKU students and that you have a constitution that outlines the organization’s bylaws. Once you have these two things completed, click here to complete the New Registered Student Organization form. You can also click here to find and join an RSO! What you are interested in may already be created!
