It's easy to be social here at BYU. There is always something going on, somewhere, with some group of people. But how often is there something to do, that is totally awesome, that's in French? Let me introduce you to the French Club.
The French Club is a group here at BYU run by French students. Each semester there are a number of activities arranged by the club that anyone can participate in. In the past they've had things like a French Halloween party complete with a presentation on torture. Another time they held a French comic book night and watch the trailer to the new Tintin movie. A huge crowd favorite is French Idol, where French students and professor get on stage and show the world what they got. It is a really fun group to be a part of.
So how do you become a member of the French Club? All you need to do is go up to the French Department office in the JFSB (3134) and tell the secretary that you would like to join the club. It costs $5 for a semester long membership (available now and in the fall) and $10 for a year long membership (available fall only). With your membership you can purchase a club t-shirt for $2 ($5 without a membership). With your membership you can enter all the French Club activities for FREE! It will for sure pay itself off quickly if you do go to the activities.
I've been in contact with the adviser of the club, and I've been told that the French Club is going to be starting their activities in February. I don't know what it is yet, but I'll have a post up about it soon.
For more info you can check out the club's Facebook page here. Also be sure to stay in contact with this blog. We'll be posting about all French activities this semester.
I hope to see many of you at this years club activities!
