WUChurn, Washington University’s butter churning society, has been an occasional talking point on WashU admission tours. However, the club, which was founded in 2016, no longer existed by 2019.

Joining a club provides you with an instant community of people with common interests, which can be a vital source of support throughout your college career.

“Be not afraid of activities: some are born to do activities, some achieve certain activities, and some have activities thrust upon us.” These are the wise (slightly tweaked) words of William Shakespeare.
