Did you miss the Literary Club’s Haunted Ghost Tours of Kennesaw? The holiday season was welcomed on campus last Thursday at the Legacy Gazebo by KSU’s Literary Club.
The Literary Club hosted a free event for the KSU community that included costumes, pumpkins, music, games and refreshments to all attendees. The Literary Club hosts many additional events. Some of the events are on campus and others are off campus in the Kennesaw area.
“On campus casual events we have held have taken place at the gym and the Legacy Gazebo,” said Literary Club president, Natalie Chambers. “Off campus, we have been bowling at U.S. 41 and a picnic at Kennesaw Mountain Park.”
The club hosts two types of meetings in addition to events. The casual meetings happen on the first Friday of every month and involve dodge ball or a picnic. The formal meetings have an agenda complete with book club discussions and various debates.
“Back in September we had a round table discussion between the different humanities departments about whether or not the English language should be standardized,” Literary Club member, Amy Freeman said. “It was a great discussion between the different humanities departments.”
The book clubs and literary discussions seem to be aimed at students with humanities knowledge, but the Literary Club is open to all students no matter the interest.
“The Literary Club provides an opportunity for students to branch out beyond their one field and explore different areas in a comfortable, no pressure setting,” said Chambers.
The members stay current with important events because the Literary Club provides a non-academic atmosphere to discuss heated topics such as politics, science and literature.
The Literary Club makes for a great resource to create connections and is an opportunity for networking with more fun events planned.
The Literary Club is growing and the officers are working hard to recruit more students as members.
“The officers for the Literary Club are great!,” Freeman said. “They’ve really worked hard to revamp the club and add some new blood to the membership. It’s just a lot of fun!”
As a club that provides a relaxed and informal setting for its members, the meetings are meant to develop friendships and help build well-rounded students who are better prepared for their academic careers and beyond.
There is no GPA requirement as well as no dues or application submission to be approved to become a Literary Club member.
