#REDIRECT [[Rutgers University]]
[[Rutgers University]] hosts over 700 [[student organization]]s, covering a wide range of interests. Governed and funded by student government, students can organize groups for any political ideology or issue, ethnic or religious affiliation, academic subject, activity, or hobby. Notable student groups include the [[Daily Targum]], the second oldest [[College newspaper|collegiate newspaper]] in the United States, established in 1869, the [[Philoclean Society]], a [[literary society]], the [[Rutgers University Glee Club]] a male choral singing group established in 1872 among the oldest in the country, as well as the [[Rutgers University Debate Union]].

==Rutgers University Student Assembly==
Rutgers University Student Assembly (RUSA) is the overarching student government at Rutgers University. RUSA acts as the voice of all Rutgers students and is composed of delegates from the local campus councils, professional school councils, and several special interest groups. Professional school councils send a number proportionate to their school size. In addition the following organizations send one (1) delegate: the Board of Governors (student representative), the Board of Trustees (student representative), the Off Campus Student Association, the Asian Student Council, the United Black Council, the Latino Student Council, the Queer Caucus, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, the Equal Opportunity Fund, and the Residence Hall Association.

The Council of Presidents is a congregation of the presidents of each of the council and professional school councils that sets the agenda for RUSA and acts as the chief brain tank of student governance at Rutgers.

In addition to this large assembly, a side branch of RUSA contains the Allocations Board. This board of students allocates student fees to the 300+ student groups at Rutgers. In order to receive funding all of these groups must follow guidelines set forth by RUSA.

The executive board used to be internally elected by RUSA members but in the Spring of 2010, the RUSA Constitution was changed to allow Rutgers Students the ability to vote for their President, Vice President, and Treasurer. The President of RUSA is charged not only with the duty of chairing any RUSA and Council of President meetings but also acting on behalf of all Rutgers University students. On April 30, 2010 the Rutgers student body had their first democratically elected student government President Yousef J. Saleh sworn in as President and Chair of RUSA.<ref>http://www.dailytargum.com/news/rusa-treasurer-wins-presidency-1.2245638</ref>

==Rutgers University Student Assembly Allocations Board==
The RUSA Allocations Board is an affiliated committee of RUSA that operates separately from RUSA and is responsible for the allocation of funds to registered Rutgers University Student Organizations as well as various registered events on an as needed basis. The goal of the Allocations Board is to promote and support diversity of programming made available to all Rutgers University Students through the fair and efficient use of the student activity fee. RUSA Allocations provides over a million dollars worth of program funding to over 350 different organizations at Rutgers University New Brunswick campus.

==Rutgers Residence Hall Association==
The Rutgers University Residence Hall Association (RHA) is an organization designed to serve the residential population of Rutgers New Brunswick/Piscataway. As stated in the Mission Statement of the RHA Constitution, "Residence Hall Association (RHA) aims to improve the residential experience for on-campus students through intentional programming and feedback-based advocacy initiatives while fostering the personal growth and leadership development of its members."

The foundation of the Residence Hall Association is a system of hall governments. Each residence hall, apartment complex, and suite complex elects a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and additional positions considered valuable. All residents are welcome at hall government meetings.

Each hall vice president represents their residents at Residential Council meetings. The Residential Council also includes the respective Campus Chair and Vice Chair.

Each hall president represents their residents at General Assembly meetings, which include the members of the Executive Board.

The Executive Board of RHA is composed of Executive President, Executive Vice President, Internal Affairs Director, Public Relations Director, Advocacy Director, National Communications Coordinator, Executive Secretary, Executive Treasurer, and the four Campus Chairs.

==Secret organizations==
Throughout its history, Rutgers has had several secret societies on campus. Many of these societies, organized in the 19th Century became [[Fraternities]]. Others remained underground and because of their secretive nature are harder to discover documented facts. Some of these secret societies include:
* The Poor Knights of the Order of the Bull's Blood (also called "Lodge 443") which claims being established in 1834.
* Sword and Serpent, established in 1870.
* The Brotherhood of the Golden Dagger, founded in 1898 and dissolved in 1940.
* Casque and Dagger (1901)
* [[Cap and Skull]] which operated as a secret society from its founding in 1900 until being dissolved in 1969 due to 1960s-era resistance to its perceived "elitism." In 1982, it was reconstituted as a university-sanctioned honor society.
* Also, remnants of early secret student literary societies still exist such as the Peithosophian Society and the Philoclean Society.

==Greek life==
{{Main|Rutgers University Greek organizations}}
Rutgers University is home to chapters of many Greek organizations, and a significant percentage of the undergraduate student body is active in Greek life. Several Fraternities and sororities mainain houses for their chapters in the area of Union Street (known familiarly as "Frat Row") in New Brunswick within blocks of Rutgers' College Avenue Campus.

Chapters of Zeta Psi and Delta Phi organized at Rutgers as early as 1845. The Alpha Rho chapter of [[Chi Psi]] Fraternity, founded at Rutgers College in 1879, was the first fraternity at Rutgers to own a fraternity house, or "Lodge", purchased in 1887. The fraternity today still owns and occupies the same property at 114 College Avenue. Presently, there are over fifty fraternities and sororities on the New Brunswick-Piscataway campus, ranging from traditional to historically African-American, Hispanic, Multicultural and Asian-interest organizations. Greek organizations are governed by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. The New Brunswick campus of Rutgers University has a chapter of the only active co-ed Pre-medical Fraternity, [[Phi Delta Epsilon]], as of 2008.<ref>[http://getinvolved.rutgers.edu/fraternities-and-sororities Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs] at Rutgers University, accessed 9 October 2008.</ref> Twelve organizations currently maintain chapters in New Brunswick without sanction by the University's administration.
