University of Sheffield Sociology Society
The University of Sheffield Sociology Society (SocSoc) is run by fellow Sociology students to enable you to feel comfortable in your new department and meet lots of like minded people! We’re dedicated to providing a friendly, social and informative service to support you during your time at Sheffield.
Being a SocSoc member not only gets you involved in the society but enables you to take part in our activities at a cheaper price, gives you discounts at various popular bars & ensures discounts on our lovely SocSoc merchandise!
Membership costs just £20 and is valid for your full 3 years at uni! SocSoc will have a stand at the Activities Fair on Thursday 20th September 2012, 10-3pm, Octagon Centre. You’ll be able to order your own personalised SocSoc hoody, sign up as a SocSoc member, get your hands on SocSoc merchandise, find out about upcoming social events, and talk to us about the department & uni life.
