What is the difference between SGE and other department clubs (AMS, GeoClub)?

GeoClub’s goal is to build community among students and faculty in the department by organizing geology-focused social events and field trips. The American Meteorological Society’s goal is to provide ways for students to network, discuss, and connect on all things weather. GeoClub and AMS jointly organize the department holiday party in December. SGE is focused on hosting meetings and events that are focused on academic growth and departmental/community service.

What if I don’t meet the requirements or don’t want to become a member for other reasons? Can I still participate?
