Student Organizations
Has God given you a gift for leadership or an intense interest in a profession or pastime? Use your talents and interests to grow and minister to others. Here are the Student Life-sponsored student groups active at Southeastern:
 Student Body Leadership Council (SBLC)
Their job is to speak for you. From a desire to extend curfew, to discontent about a new campus policy, the SBLC tells school officials about changes they would like to see at Southeastern. The SBLC also is charged with planning and facilitating activities to promote personal growth and fellowship among students. The 14-member SBLC includes the SBLC president, class presidents and the directors of SBLC committees. SBLC officers oversee the SBLC, and the committees organize and promote activities and community service projects. In addition to speaking for and serving students, SBLC members are mentored by Student Life staff as they fulfill their leadership roles on campus.

Mu Kappa, a chapter of an international organization, ministers to students who are children of missionaries. It is a fellowship of MKs—a.k.a. missionary kids—who often must adjust or readjust to life in the United States. Mu Kappa connects first-year students with returning MKs and runs Bible studies. It also sponsors parties, particularly during holidays when many MKs can’t visit their families abroad.
