There are specitic responsibilities and expectations that accompany the student privilege
to organize. In order to obtain and maintain recognition, an organization's goals, purposes,
values and behavior are to be consistent with the goals and values of McMurry. This means
that student organizations, through their activities and actions, are expected to always meet
the following responsibilities:
* respect normal University operations (i.e. class schedules, movement of traffic, etc.).
* honor and support the rights of its members in their academic pursuits.
* do not deny or interfere with the rights of others. This includes respecting the dignity of
the human person.
* compliance with the anti-hazing requirements of McMurry and the State of Texas.
* refrain from discrimination in membership on the basis of gender, ethnicity, nationality,
religion, physical ability, culture, or political affiliation.
* represent the purpose and intent of the organization accurately and ethically.
* be aware of and in full compliance with applicable civil laws and University policies and
regulations.
* display responsible and ethical actions in all exchanges on and off campus as is always
expected of members of the McMurry community.
There are six different types of student clubs and organizations: special interest organizations,
professional & academic organizations, honor societies, service organizations, social clubs,

the different recognized organizations. Organizations are strongly encouraged to be recognized
with MSG at the beginning of each fall semester.

political awareness, and/or leadership activities.

RECOGNIZED PROFESSIONAL & ACADEMIC ORGANIZATIONS

that allow students the opportunity to meet others with similar career or academic goals. Often
times the organization is promoted by academic departments for the benefit of students in similar
majors. Professional & academic organizations are particularly important for networking, as
you make contacts with people in your field of study in school and in the Abilene area.
