To become an official (paid) member of ASU, one must pay yearly or semester dues. These help ASU pay for the events we plan during the academic year (such as karaoke nights, street food nights, and hot pot). Paid members obtain certain benefits and discounts at our paid events. A majority of ASU's events are free and open to the public, regardless of membership, but there are occasional events that are open to official (paid) members only. However, unpaid members are still welcome to attend our events and meetings. ASU encourages our members to pay the fee because it helps us as an organization; however we don't necessarily enforce it, because we understand some people don't have the means to pay. ASU is still growing, but some of the mainstay events it hosts every year include Dumpling Night, dinner socials, and general meetings that revolve around the topics of Asian and Asian American cultures. We have different food-related events as well as social and fundraising events. The purpose of these events are to promote Asian American culture on campus.
