Campus clubs and organizations have been an important part of campus life since the early 1900s. President George Brimhall was the first president to organize a system of clubs. Upon initiating the clubs Brimhall wrote to the students:
Chapters of national honor societies also found place on campus, linking BYU with the academic world and increasing its reputation with other schools. Tau Kappa Alpha, a national debating society, was the first national society on campus, followed by Theta Alpha Phi, Dramatics; Alpha Delta, commerce; Gamma Phi Omicron, home economics; and Alpha Kappa Psi.
