SMU student clubs

ARTS CLUBS
A good number of SMU students have a passion for the arts as evidenced not only by the numerous arts CCA clubs but also by the quality and interest of these groups.

Many of these clubs perform regularly at university events, and are also invited to showcase their talents by external organisations. These arts groups reside under the Arts student Constituent Body, the Arts & Cultural Fraternity (ACF).
