Delight

“Delight” is a college women’s religious community that worships God. The club has meetings every Friday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Student Union room 314. During meetings they read a devotional story and have discussions. There are always food and laughs. Delight is a new student organization and still growing.

One of the most well-known clubs on campus that attends sporting events and gets rowdy in the student section. Its members tailgate for football events and have cookouts and play cornhole. The club even travels to away games to spread school spirit. It’s $20 to be a part of the club, which includes a shirt.
