<p>Also, you may want to focus first on being nominated for the Maroon Key Society (you are nominated as a second year but do not begin duties until your third year). This is a group of students which meets regularly with deans of the college to bring awareness of undergraduate issues to individuals able to enact change. To be nominated, you must have stellar participation in extracurricular activities but not necessarily a stellar GPA. This is still a great honor, you get to attend the same fancy awards ceremony as Student Marshals, and MKS members often receive even more prestigious awards their third or fourth years.</p>
