Amnesty International
Amnesty International’s mission is to educate the general campus community about grave human rights abuses both here, and abroad. As the oldest human rights organizations in the United States, Amnesty International has a distinguished reputation for raising awareness of human rights issues, as well as advocating social change. Amnesty International, on campus, will work to maintain this distinguished reputation, educating our peers and professors on how they can change the world they live in. Further, Amnesty International will provide a forum for students at Washington College to express their beliefs regarding rights issues. Amnesty International will continue raising awareness and advocating change through its important letter-writing campaigns, as well as providing campus events that educate the campus public on the issues our club cares most strongly about. The letter-writing campaigns will ultimately benefit those individuals that Amnesty International is attempting to save from human rights abuses. Campus events will provide a larger attempt to benefit the campus community, and fulfill the desires of students to protest for change.

Cleopatra's Sisters
Cleopatra's Sisters is an organization for women to celebrate diversity and our common heritages. We are a rainbow of different cultures with one future that can not be divided by no outside force, as our bonds grow stronger. Since there is apathy for diversity on this campus. Cleopatra’s Sisters is an organization for women of different ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds. The organization stands on seven principles: sisterhood, respect, unity, peace, patience, pride and love. Cleopatra’s Sisters are active on and off campus. The sisters will be participating in the celebration of ethnic, racial and religious heritage months. We will also be doing community service and advocate for women issues on and off-campus. We are in the process of collecting personal like (tooth paste, deodorant, etc.)items from campus to donate to the Women in Need Shelter in Kent County.
