Here’s a list of eight of the clubs on campus that you probably didn’t know about, but should.

2. Hula Hoop Club
Hula hoopers of all skill levels at Binghamton come together every Friday to share their skills and socialize. The Hula Hoop Club works to spread the art of hula hooping around campus! Once hip-shaking members become more advanced, they even get to put on performances!
3. KnitWits
The KnitWits provide an opportunity for those who love to crochet and knit to do a good deed and create clothes, blankets and other items to donate to charity. Even if you have no previous experience, advanced members teach newbies the art of crocheting, which means anyone can join. So have a blast— one stitch at a time.
4. Live Action Role Playing Club
You may be walking on the Peace Quad one day to find a group of people wearing capes and fighting with fake swords. Don’t be alarmed, that’s just the Live Action Role Playing Club!
