Founded in 1931 by the very founder of Husson University, Mu Sigma Chi is the oldest fraternity on campus. Known on campus as MEX, we are a diverse group of male students who attend both Husson and NESCom. Priding ourselves on campus and community involvement, we host numerous events every year such as our annual 24 Hour Relay, Winter Ball, and Super Bowl party. Our biggest fundraising event each year is our annual 24 Hour Relay for the United Way of Eastern Maine. We have been working with this organization for the past four years. While being a very diverse group of individuals, we exhibit a strong brotherhood bond that is second to none. Making Maine's gentlemen since 1931, we are assistants, campus security officers, and more importantly Brothers. When coming to college, think about Greek Life and our fraternity. Our bond of brotherhood goes with you beyond your college years; it lasts forever.
The Organization of Physical Therapy Students (OPTS) is an on-campus organization for physical therapy students. OPTS focuses on educating the Bangor area as well as the Husson community about physical therapy. We also support the physical therapy students throughout their journey within the program. We raise money for Alpha One, a local organization that supports independent living for individuals with disabilities, through our Annual Event-Wheel Chair Basketball. Last year we raised over $1900 for this cause. OPTS also supports a local food pantry (Manna) via an annual food drive as well as the senior DPT class through a senior gift.
OPTS encourages student involvement and a feeling of community by holding PT fun nights. These nights provide a time for all of the PT classes to network with each other and gain knowledge about educational and professional expectations surrounding physical therapy. We hold a therapeutic massage night, show educational movies, welcome guest speakers, and provide educational presentations. By having these PT fun nights, we can support the professional phase students by allowing them to practice and improve previously learned skills. These fun nights also provide encouragement and support for pre-professional students to get involved and understand what physical therapy is all about. We encourage all physical therapy students to get involved. Finally, participation in OPTS helps students meet their co-curricular and community service requirements for graduation.
The Husson University/EMMC Organization of Student Nurses (OSN) is composed of undergraduate nursing students who work to better our community and school, provide educational activities to our members, and promote the profession of nursing.

OSN strives to promote leadership and the understanding of group process for all of our members to enhance our education and prepare us for our professional roles as baccalaureate prepared nurses.
The outdoors club is an active club on campus. Their main focus is advocating for outdoor activities both on and off campus.

The Psychology Club welcomes all health-related majors and minors in order for everyone to have a place at Husson University. As of right now we have three elementary education majors in our club and about five to six psychology majors. The Psychology Club wishes to advance the knowledge that the public has about the psychology field and all the many paths to which it can lead. We are quite active on campus and have been established for over three years. We play a good part in student life here on campus. We have held movie nights, annual dinners, open mic nights, and a graduating seminar, as well as many other events. We look forward to seeing or hearing from anyone who is interested in joining us for some fun at Husson University.
Running Club unites everyone who loves to run here at Husson (short or long distances, track or XC) into one group. Our goal is to promote running on and off campus in groups in an attempt to stay in shape and have fun. We also hope to show the school that there are enough people actively interested in running so that, when the funds are available, it will be that much easier to start a team. As most of you probably know, it is much easier and far more motivating to run in groups than it is to try and run (stay in shape) by yourself. Running Club meets four or five times a week to run various distances both on and off campus. Everyone is welcome no matter their experience or physique. So, come join us!
Any student may join, whether he or she goes to Husson or NESCom. Writing for the paper gives one the opportunity to participate in more events, including those that can qualify for community service and fine arts credits. We have a variety of fundraising events, the biggest of which is advertisements. We also sponsor on-campus activities. Recently, we sponsored Easter egg decorating and have plans to sponsor a book drive to improve our campus library.
