The Literary League - formerly known as the Undergraduate English Organization - is comprised of and open to any UNL student interested in reading, writing, joining an RSO/becoming more involved on campus, interacting with others with similar interests, looking for distinguishing additions to one's curriculum vitae, meeting new people, going to English-related events, and having a grand old time with the field of English in general. Some events we have hosted include philanthropic book drives, class reviews, guest speakers such as Pulitzer prize winner Ted Kooser, poetry slams, movies, and much more. Our meetings are held once a month, and food is always provided. One need not be an English major, or even an English minor, to join. More information available by joining the Lit. League Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/groups/litleague/) and via e-mail (literaryleague@unl.edu). Join us on Facebook and get connected today!
