Taking over Clubs

<p>How do you do that? it seems to me, once you’re president, you’ll always be president of that club. So it’s more like a King or Emperor.</p>

<p>You can take it over if someone becomes a senior and leaves the school so before s/he does that, they hold elections. Was that sarcasm or were you serious?</p>

<p>Leaving the school is like dying.</p>

<p>In the thread about starting a new club, I referred to taking over a club as meaning being in a position of influence. You don’t always have to be President, and maybe if you have connections with the officers you wouldn’t need to be an officer yourself. Just be able to influence the club. You can do that when the last President graduates or gets thrown over (it can happen).</p>

<p>usually the president is a senior so they graduate afterward. Or sometimes the president or at least of the officers are juniors or underclassmen, but they might suck at the job and they probably wont win the election the next year, so you could run and beat them. Be dedicated to the club,go to every meeting, ask for responsibilities, and people will have a reason to want you as president.</p>

<p>No, it doesn’t work that way, at least where I live. Presidents and other positions are voted in, so it’s more a democracy than a monarchy. A club shouldn’t be governed singularly by one person, the members as a whole should contribute to it while the president etc. direct and lead it. To be president of a club you should genuinely care about the club and listen to the opinions of others. There’s no “taking over” part in it.</p>

<p>I like my school, I’m running for Freshmen Senator. No President until you’re an upper classmen. President as in School President.</p>
