THE 1(00)% CAMPAIGNYou've heard the talk: “There’s nothing to do on campus”, "We were rated amongst the least happy students", "IIT's social life is nonexistent". These are repeated so much that it seems to almost be considered public knowledge.
We may not have the most vibrant student body in the nation but it's not because of a lack of opportunities. Almost every day a different student organization is hosting an event, and almost every night people are hanging out and having a great time on campus. At the same time, large attendance at campus events is difficult to garner, leadership positions sometimes go uncontested, and a small group of students are reaping most of the benefits of getting involved. 1% of the students are having 99% of the fun. Yes, academics are the number one priority for students, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun along the way. It’s time for every single IIT student to have fun. It’s time to turn the 1% into the 100%. As you read this, a multitude of student organizations are coming together and kicking off the 1(00)% Campaign. The idea of this campaign is to:
We can all have an awesome time at IIT, so let’s seize the day, get out, have a good time, and stop making people think that we are a ton of boring class zombies. Let’s turn the 1% into the 100%!
