The most popular clubs completely depend on your interests… for certain fields of interest there are actually councils to organize the clubs available. For example, the Business Council was created a year or two ago, and I think there’s a Green Council as well for the plethora of environmental groups.

The way I would break it down:


Business Groups
Environmental Groups
Cultural Groups … for example the Chinese Student Association, Nikkei Student Union
Professional Organizations … Prelaw, Premed, Computer Science groups
Fraternities/ Sororities … of which there are also cultural ones
Sports clubs for virtually every type of physical activity
Social Action/ Community groups … think Red Cross, Invisible Children, etc.
Publications … the Daily Bruin, Bruin Business Review, cultural papers/ magazines etc.


There’s a list online at Orgsync I think, which is the system UCLA uses to manage its clubs. It is notoriously out of date though, as it’s pretty characteristic of any college to have clubs popup one year and die out the next as the founding members graduate.

Regardless, there’s absolutely more for you to get involved with than you’ll have time for!
