When you look back at college days from your future, lifelong friends will be a big part of your memories. Club activities, playing together, serving together nurture those friendships now so that you will have them not only to look back on but to enjoy in the future as well. As with all things at Ohio Valley University, our clubs also strive to uphold our mission and reflect our Christian foundation and affiliation with churches of Christ.

OVU SOCIAL CLUBS

You can’t be on campus more than fifteen minutes without someone hearing these two words: SOCIAL CLUBS!

Ohio Valley University has three social clubs: Delta, Kappa, and Sigma. Each club has a unique personality and new students are encouraged to find the one that fits them best and join.

Throughout year, the four clubs compete for highly esteemed Club of the Year. We battle it out through intramural sports, highest average GPA, community service points, and Expressions! (a student variety show).

Though competition is fierce, the Club of the Year title is not our main goal. Club members become friends and family as we journey through our education together. We gather for holiday parties, bonfires, and picnics. We support one another, laugh, cry, and study together.

Check out our clubs. Join one. You’ll never regret it.
