Georgia Tech has more than 350 chartered student organizations that offer a variety of activities for student involvement. These organizations are classified in the following categories: honor societies, governing boards, professional/departmental, service, educational, political, cultural/diversity, sport clubs, religious/spiritual, student media, performance, recreation, and fraternities and sororities.

The Student Involvement Center (located on the second floor of the Student Center Commons) works to promote extracurricular involvement and create an environment where student organizations and their leaders and advisors, have the resources to be successful, self-sustaining organizations that provide other students with opportunities for leadership, self-exploration and development of new skills.

Students who get involved are more likely to be happier with their college experience, graduate, and have higher grades than those who do not get involved.
