JOIN THE CLUB is a feature that highlights SFU’s lesser known clubs and non-existent organizations. 

The Simon Fraser University Anti-Acronym Society, or as it’s more commonly known, the SFU AAS, is an organization dedicated to the elimination of acronyms at SFU.

Although the group’s status as an officially sanctioned SFSS club remains TBD, the club is hoping to be approved ASAP and start the process of removing acronyms from SFU.

According to the AAS, A’s are needlessly confusing and don’t actually save much time because they almost always have to include the the long form version in brackets later anyways (A’s is short for Acronyms).

The AAS meets every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. in the AQ and also holds a monthly closed meeting for the group’s VIP members which alternates between different rooms in the LDC, MBC, WMC and TASC 2. The AAS requires RSVPs from all VIPs for these CMs (Closed Meetings) and expects all VIPs to give their ETAs beforehand.

PS: The club’s official  motto is “you only live once.”
