Welcome to student association AEGEE-Enschede
AEGEE-Enschede one of the largest student associations in Enschede. There is no limit to the possibilities within AEGEE, with about 200 sister associations all across Europe. We offer social drinks and amazing parties in our pub, as well as large conferences, holidays, and exchanges. Let us enrich your student life!
Instead of a hazing period we have the After Introduction Program, a period of six weeks after the university Kick-In. You can get to know our association a bit better by joining the activities on Tuesday and Thursday organised by our fraternities, sororities, yearclubs and other enthusiastic members.
During this year AEGEE-Enschede will celebrate its sixth lustrum (30th anniversary)! The lustrum committee will organise a number of cool activities for us to enjoy this wonderful fact. This includes a lustrum trip to Nancy, a fancy lustrum gala, a pub marathon and a train game together with AEGEE-Utrecht and AEGEE-Delft who also celebrate their lustrum this year. Let's make this a year to remember!
There is always something to do at AEGEE-Enschede. Besides the regular pubnights at tuesdays and thursdays, there are also a lot of activities. Most of these activities take place before or during these pubnights. However there are also a lot of activities taking place on other days throughout the week, in weekends or during a whole week. If you want to know more about these activities, then read more here.
AEGEE-Enschede consists of various committees that keep the association running. Examples are committees that organise awesome activities, such as the ski-trip committee or the congress committee. But we also have committees that provide support, such as the PromoTeam or the Computer Operating Team that maintains the IT facilities.
We have several fraternities and sororities in AEGEE-Enschede. They are groups of men or women that have a certain connection to each other and, instead of having the horizontal structure of year clubs, these are structured vertically, which entails students of all ages can be found in these fellowships. In contrast to AEGEE-Enschede, the debating societies of AEGEE-Enschede do hold an introductory period. In order to first give new members the chance to form a year club, first year students are only approached after the 1st of February to join the rest of the members of the fraternities or sororities for drinks.
In the first year you get offered the opporunity to start a yearclub with other fellow first years at AEGEE. A yearclub consists of 5-15 members from the same year. Eating together, participating in activities (or organizing them yourselves) and drinking in our pub are just some of the possibilities a yearclub offer.
If you have decided that AEGEE-Enschede is the association for you, it is of course possible to become a member! The membership fee is a mere €60.- per year and offers lots of possibilities. It is possible to join a yearclub, or perhaps one of our fraternities or sororities, Perhaps you want to develop yourself in one of our committees, or a combination of these! To register as a member, please send an email to: board@aegee-enschede.nl or visit us at our office or in our pub Asterion!
