Every semester, the Pre-Law Society hosts an Ice Cream Social and Informational to reconnect with returning members, welcome prospective students, and provide an opportunity to learn more about the organization before paying dues and attending the first official meeting on February 19, 2025. This event was open to all Sam Houston students and provided a great chance to relax before the start of exams while discovering the unique opportunities within the organization, including exclusive events, career insights, and support for law school preparation.
As members and potential members walked into the Holcombe Room, they were greeted with sweet treats, a prize wheel, and the chance to connect with like-minded students.
The prizes ranged from bronze to silver to gold. Before the meeting, Ms. Loveall and Olivia searched for prizes that they believed the members would enjoy. And….
They did not disappoint! Prizes spanned from colorful pencil pouches, small books with sticky notes (which is good for book lovers), and SHSU merch!
Once it hit 6 o’clock, the group moved the party down to CHSS 140 for the informational meeting. President Olivia Discon spoke to the students about the benefits of joining Pre-Law Society. She highlighted exclusive opportunities for members, such as networking with professionals who have extensive knowledge in the legal field. Additionally, members can take a free Mock LSAT, and by doing so, they will have the chance to be chosen for a scholarship to cover the cost of an LSAT prep course.
Before wrapping up, we also discussed dues for the Spring 2025 semester. New member dues are $55, which includes a Pre-Law Society t-shirt, and returning member dues are $25. Payments can be taken by cash, check, or money order. Dues can be paid anytime before our first official meeting on February 19, 2025, at 6 P.M. For those that wish to pay prior to the meeting, our Vice President of Treasury, Chrissy Biello, will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in CHSS 480 until February 19!
After the meeting, students interested in joining had the chance to chat with the Pre-Law Society Officers and members about their experiences in the organization. The semester is off to a great start, and we can’t wait to see you all at our first official meeting on February 19 at 6pm (or one hour before in CHSS 140 to pay dues)!
