Frequently Asked Questions About College Greens [Home]

Q: Who is behind this?

A: This effort is organized by the Green Party of the United States and any state or local Green Party that wishes to support a College Greens chapter.  We are not backed by any corporation, labor union, or advocacy group.

Q: I remember a group called Campus Greens.  What's up with them? 

A: Campus Greens was an independent 501(c)4 organization unaffiliated with the Green Party.  They are currently not organizing chapters on a national level.  Any group that was once affiliated with Campus Greens is invited to affiliate themselves with College Greens, however, this effort is not affiliated with that or any 501(c)4 organization. 

Q: Is this allowed?  I heard I can't start a political group at my school.

A: This is most likely not the case.  It is important to follow the rules about what your school allows groups to do, but as long as you stay within these guidelines you should be fine.  It there is a College Democrat or Republican group at your school, talk to them about how to operate within the rules.  Find someone in the student affairs office to discuss the situation - make sure to always be nice, even if you don't get the help you need.  Contact us at college@gp.org if you need help getting answers. 

Q: Why just College Greens?  What about high schools?

A: We welcome any group of students to organize a group at their school.  Because our resources are currently limited, we can only focus on so much at one time.  While we are currently focused on organizing College Greens chapters, we will help any group of students however we can. 

Q: I just graduated.  What can I do?

There are lots of things you can do.  If you know anyone still attending school, help them bring current students together to form a group.  You can e-mail us at college@gp.org and let us know if there is someone we should get in touch with.  We are also forming an Alumni Network.
