Who Are We? The Alternative Society is a friendly society for students who love alternative fashion, music, subcultures and more. We love individuality, creativity, and self-expression in all its forms! From Gothic to Punk, from Emo to Metal, from Gyaru to Jirai Kei and anything else out there!
What We Aim To Do We plan to throw themed socials, collaborations, creative workshops, and launch events designed to be a little bit out there! Whether it’s a fashion social, alt music night, DIY workshops or a collaboration with another society, we aim to create a fun and safe space.
Our Mission We aim to provide a safe space for students to meet new people who share similar interests, to express themselves freely, and to feel good about who they are!
Who Can Join From full time alternative lifestyle fans to curious students looking to try something new, we’re open to anyone and everyone!
