Question 1

What kind of social events does the club host?

Accepted Answer

We host events of all kinds for both members and non-members alike. Of course, members have access to extra events such as monthly (weather-permitting) observation-socials with snacks on HEBB Rooftop, as well as free or discounted rates for paid events. Our past events include movie nights in collaboration with various clubs (e.g., Film Society), Halloween and Christmas themed socials, study sessions, and trivia at the Gallery.

Question 2

Do I need to be a member to attend the social events?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the event. Our marketing will always clarify whether or not events are members-only, public, RSVP-required, ticketed, and so on.

Question 3

Can I bring a friend with me to the social events?

Accepted Answer

Likewise, it depends on the event, and our marketing will always clarify. The more the merrier at all our events that are open to the public! Some events are open to members only, but members are allowed to bring a non-member friend.
