The main purpose of the SOU chess club is to provide a space for SOU students & alumni to play chess casually, learn tactics together, and discuss current events in the global chess community. This club is open to players of all skill levels including new players who have never played before, but are interested in learning. Chess has been known to have an intimidating stigmatization surrounding it, which can make prospective players feel overwhelmed or intimidated when learning how to play. The SOU chess club aims to change that commonly held predisposition and to create an environment of friendly sportsmanship, community, and collective growth. Players that are seeking a more competitive atmosphere can also find opportunities to challenge similarly skilled or higher level players in friendly tournaments against fellow members or represent SOU in tournaments that may be held locally, for example.

Since 1994, the Success at Southern/TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program has committed to increasing the college retention, academic standing, and graduation rates of eligible participants. By providing a variety of services to meet students' needs, we assist eligible participants in clarifying their goals, succeeding academically in their chosen program of study, and graduating with a bachelor's degree in a timely manner.
Success at Southern/TRIO-SSS program is funded through a federal grant and is limited to 190 participants per academic year. During these years, Success at Southern/TRIO-SSS program has served more than 1,500 students, most of them first-generation and low-income students.
Our Objectives
1. Good Academic Standing: 89% of all project participants served by the TRIO project will meet the performance level required to stay in good academic standing at the grantee institution.
2. Persistence Rate: 75% of all project participants served by the TRIO project will persist from one academic year to the beginning of the next academic year.
3. Bachelor’s Degree Attainment: 46% of new participants served each year will graduate within six years.

Group Not Registered Yet

Mission
The Tau Kappa Epsilon Special Interest Group is here to create support for a Greek Lettered System (Greek Life) on campus, beginning with the possibility through the fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE). We're a group open to all students, staff and faculty who wish to help direct the course for Greek Life back to SOU. We want you if you have an interest in transforming yourself, your campus and those around you to become better versions of ourselves by challenging each other to reflect and grow/develop leadership. We're not here to alter or change the entire SOU way of life, but add to it with access to external resources like scholarships, future job/career opportunities, alumni engagement, and new events.

TKE had a chapter on campus from the 60s through the 70s. We want to return it to SOU, but this Interest Group and the current chapter for TKE operate mostly independent from one another. There is some overlap between community service projects, events, and areas of focus between the Interest Group. We plan to hold social events/service projects (dances, dinners, fundraisers, etc.), invite others from TKE HQ and neighboring chapters to visit campus while this group is active.

Our club photo depicts three triangles because it's symbolic to TKE and us. One triangle has three sides to us representing a full equal development of mind, body and heart of one person. Multiple triangles represent a whole body of people capable of these developments should they choose.

Our Mission
To generate the highest quality newspaper in an unbiased manner to the students, staff, and faculty with newsworthy, entertaining, and stimulating content.

The Siskiyou is a weekly publication produced by students of Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon. The print edition of the Siskiyou began in November 1926, and over the years has established a reputation for accurate and unbiased reporting both on and off campus.

In January 2012 our editorial staff pioneered the transition to a completely online newspaper, allowing for more flexibility and in-depth reporting than our weekly print edition allowed. As the official student-run newspaper of SOU, the paper publishes stories throughout the academic school year, with the exception of winter, spring and summer breaks.

Community submissions, such as letters to the editor, columns, blogs and article comments are encouraged. Over the years, the editors and staff of the Siskiyou have won numerous awards. In 2009 and 2018, for example, the staff of the Siskiyou was awarded top honors in the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association’s Collegiate Newspaper Contest.

Students who join The Siskiyou gain invaluable experience by conducting interviews with students and community members, writing in AP Style, working with close deadlines, and collaborating as a team. The Siskiyou has a great team of students that are enthusiastic about the written word, producing unbiased news, and sharing their personal views on pop culture.
