The Rhodes Activities Board (RAB) is a student led organization that exists to produce a wide variety of quality events on a regular basis, promote campus unity, encourage responsible social activity, and expose students to diverse cultural, intellectual, and social opportunities. The board represents and responds to all student body input for programming and informs all students of activities to increase student ownership and participation in campus life through bi-semester meetings open to the campus. The board also promotes and supports other campus organizations with their programming efforts when needed.
Community Impact: We strive to connect with the greater Memphis community and introduce students to a variety of local businesses, artists, food vendors and more. Through events like Rock Climbing with Roo, Taste of Memphis, and hosting Memphis based musicians and panelists, students are given the opportunity to be exposed to aspects of the city's unique culture.
Mission Statement

Vision Statement
The vision of the Rhodes Activities Board is to foster active participation in campus life, unify and integrate the student body, and produce events that lead to a well-rounded college experience.
Commitment to Diversity
The Rhodes Activities Board adheres to Rhodes College’s “Policy on Discrimination and Harassment”, and actively works to continue the colleges work in sustaining a positive campus climate for all students. These measures include working with any student and/or administrative entity that seeks to provide and uphold campus programs that attract all students.
New Application Process
In an effort to truly embody our mission to create events for all students on campus, RAB general board members will no longer need to participate in the RSG election cycle, but rather fill out an interest application and complete a short interview with the organization. General RAB members will be selected based on their interests and will be placed in committees based on preference, experience, and strengths. RAB is seeking individuals who are passionate about fostering a welcoming environment on campus in order to enhance the college experience of all students. We are excited to welcome new people, ideas, and events for RAB!
The next application cycle will begin in March 2022
