Virtually all clubs & similar student life activities involve both campuses. For those purposes, Barnard/Columbia is a unified community. It works both ways - there really aren’t many Barnard-only clubs either. Even clubs with “Barnard” in their name may be open to Columbia students – for example, when my daughter was in college she participated in WBAR (Barnard College Radio) - but there were also many male Columbia students who had WBAR programs. (And I am sure female Columbia students as well, it’s just that the station never listed college affiliations of its DJ’s).

The exception would be student government (a Columbia student couldn’t run to be Barnard class President, for example) – and male-only fraternities at Columbia (for obvious reasons). But Barnard students can join Columbia sororities.
