So you're in college and as it is with most college students you've found your place in some sort of organization. Many find a place among the many Greek Life Fraternities or Sororities or even religious organizations like Campus Crusade for Christ. Some will join political groups like College Republicans or Democrats, while others flock to debate teams and sports teams. Wherever people go, it seems that every college has something for everyone. However, recently there is a new organization that has popped up around campuses nationwide and most everyone doesn't even know about it.
I am of course, referring to Oprah Club.
Ahh yes, Oprah Club, the organization for those who just can't seem to get enough of the eponymous ex-host of the Oprah Winfrey Show. A nation wide group consisting of only the most elite and prestigious Oprah fans, Oprah Club has been rising up on campuses all over the country and shows no signs of slowing down. It's actually incredibly likely that you know at least three members of your local Oprah Club branch. In fact, two out of three readers of this very article are Oprah Club members.
Now much like Mrs. Winfrey herself, the National Oprah Club began right here in Mississippi, with it's first chapter opening up in Mississippi College. I recently actually got to sit down with the club's founder and we got to have a very interesting conversation about the club's plan for the future. She revealed to me that Oprah Club has refined their rush process down to a single simple test. Entitled the "Do you get it?" Test, pledges must answer a short questionnaire for the higher members to determines if they "get it" or not, if they do then they're in; if not, then they're out of luck. She also said that the club had just recently finished their officer elections with not too surprising results. "Well obviously Oprah was voted President, and I'm the obvious pick for Vice President.." said the Founder in reference to the election results. "I'm also Secretary, Treasurer, Sgt. at Arms, Chaplain, Historian, Keeper of the Flame, and official Oprah Fan of the month for 25 months and counting." The founder assures all of the members of Oprah Club that the next years officer core will lead them into a golden age.
So if you find yourself wanting a new place to fit in and have an extreme love for all things Winfrey, then for sure Oprah club is for you. Come rush time, be on the look out for your local Oprah club representatives and rush to see if you "Get it" enough to join the ranks of the most sophisticated and civilized club in history, the Oprah Club.
