Membership

Interested in becoming a staff member? We don’t blame you. It’s pretty awesome.

What happens at a meeting?

Swati, our current editor, starts off the meetings with a poem to get us all in the right frame of mind. Jim Rose, an outlaw, will pass around an attendance sheet that always includes an awesome question to answer. These get read aloud, and we enjoy the answers immensely. Swati will also bring packets of submissions to the meeting. The packets range between 4 and 34 submissions, but generally have around 8. Each poem is read out loud, and then discussed. Sometimes we talk about them technically — they used that em-dash all wrong! — and sometimes we talk about them informally — this line is way cool! Then each member rates the poem on his or her own, according to that particular member’s tastes.

How do I join?

Just show up! Currently, we meet on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm on the 3rd floor of the HUB. If you see a group of cheery people sitting by the big windows facing the hub lawn,  that’s us! To be officially considered a staff member, you have to come to at least 6 meetings throughout the semester. Other than that, your level of involvement is totally up to you. We’re a close knit group, and we’d love to get to know you.
