Student Groups and Organizations
Stanford students move in many different directions, often simultaneously. Having the ability to engage in multiple interests and find friends who are not only similarly engaged, but also exceptionally talented in those areas, is one of the values of Stanford’s diversity. Stanford recognizes that student organizations enrich the social, cultural and educational experiences of students and the larger University community. About 600 organized student groups at Stanford cover a range of interests:
- Academic
- Athletic/Recreational
- Careers/Preprofessional
- Community Service
- Ethnic/Cultural
- Fraternities/Sororities
- Health/Counseling
- Media/Publications
- Music/Dance/Creative Arts
- Political/Social Awareness
- Religious/Philosophical

The always irreverent
Stanford Band offers new forms of expression for the university's
musically inclined students. The Band's infamous costumes, crazy
skits and Tree mascot are beloved campus icons. Here, they send
off graduates following Commencement at Stanford Stadium. Photo:
