About Bruin Clubs
Every student group at UCLA you can join, in one searchable place, with honest notes on how to join each one.
What's in here

Where the data comes from
Names, categories, who can join, email and social links come from UCLA's live registry, pulled September 23, 2026. Descriptions are, in order of preference, the club's own text from UCLA's directory; a summary of the club's own website, Instagram, LinkedIn or a UCLA department page, researched in September 2026 and linked on the club's page; or, for school clubs, ensembles and club sports, the school's or UCLA Recreation's official page. Each club page says which one you're reading.
"How to join" is specific and current for 240 groups: every Greek chapter gets its council's fall 2026 recruitment dates from UCLA Fraternity & Sorority Life, ensembles get their audition or enrollment rules, and about 140 other clubs have details found in research. Everything else shows the usual process for that kind of club, and says so.
Every Discord invite was checked against Discord; expired ones were removed. Websites that failed twice were removed or replaced with the school's listing page.
Known gaps
- Some registered orgs have no description anywhere public. They still show their category, email and Instagram when there is one.
- Discord and group-chat links are rare in official listings. Most clubs keep them in their Instagram bio.
- Registration renews every fall. 2026–27 re-registration closes October 9, 2026, and orgs that don't re-register lose status October 31. The directory is refreshed after that.
- Student media outlets, residence councils and department-run programs that aren't in the registry may be missing. Tell us and we'll add them.
Not an official UCLA site
Bruin Clubs is independent. It isn't run, endorsed or verified by UCLA. For anything official, UCLA's own organization search is the tiebreaker.
