"We all make choices, but... In the end our choices make us." – Andrew Ryan, a character from Bioshock.
If you love sports, politics, or Jesus, then there's probably a club for you on campus. Heck, there might even be a few. We founded Argo Gaming, because there was nothing like that for us. An issue with gaming communities is that they are often purely online – rarely will you have friends to game with beyond your personal friends. So we wanted to build a physical, real, tangible community where people who love games can have fun together.

Membership Benefits
Those who join our club can expect to find friends, fun, and a fantastic receptacle for your passion. You'll find plenty of chances to stray outside of your comfort zone in a supportive environment, and try new games that you might not have ever touched otherwise. You can even put yourself to work, if that's more your thing. You can help with event set-up, event coordination, social media management, and even run for a position on the executive board if you so wish. All of this can provide you with a sense of satisfaction, as well as opportunities to develop your skills in these areas.
