Prep Signs Up for 30+ Clubs at Club Night; Club Heads Refuse to Take Him off of the Email Lists

During Club Night, prep Johnny Spaz signed up for more than 30 clubs, ranging from Student Council to American Culture Club to How to Harkness Club. Although he was hoping to expand his horizons, his experience  was not the best.

“I knew Exeter had so many opportunities for me, and so many amazing people to meet.” For this reason, Johnny Spaz signed up for a wide range of clubs. “For starters,  my parents wanted me to signup for the big clubs. This meant Student Council, Exonian, Debate, Mock Trial, and Model UN.”

Spaz sees a potential future for him in these clubs. “Having been class officer in fourth grade, I really think I have the character and charisma to become Student Body President. I see a lot of changes that would greatly benefit the student body. I definitely plan on running for Prep Rep and giving preps more representation in Student Council. With that one year experience under my belt, I hope to become Lower Rep and then Secretary and then President! I also hope to become Editor-in-Chief of The Exonian, Debate Co-head, Mock Trial Co-head, and Model UN co-head!”

One thing that surprised Spaz was the number of club heads at Exeter. “There must be a LOT of work that these club heads need to do if they need to split it among more than five club heads. I guess there are a lot of hard workers and leaders at Exeter.”

Spaz elaborated on his experience talking to club heads. “Many of the club heads were very compelling. For example, American Culture Club said that they were extremely low commitment, and that there would be a cook out at the end of the term. They also said that they would not send a lot of emails. I’m really looking forward to it!”

While several clubs promised not to send too many emaiils, Spaz unfortunately did not experience this since he signed up for over 30 clubs.

“Coupled with emails about music concerts and Canvas notifications and phishing emails and IT emails, I couldn’t find a thing in my inbox!”

Spaz remembers a string of emails from Quiz Bowl. “The emails were funny, but I was getting too many emails at this point. I decided to email some of the club heads to remove me from the email list.”

It turned out that when Spaz tried to email the Club Heads to remove him from the email list, he accidentally replied all. “I didn’t realize that I replied all. I guess I still have a lot to learn about using Outlook.”

Most of the othr Club Heads did not reply to Spaz’s email list removal requests. “I guess they want long email lists,” Spaz remarked.
