“I started CHAARG at Clemson University because I was lacking a friend group that was focused more on the wellness aspect. I didn’t want to lose myself + who I was as a person so I sought out CHAARG ++ truly found my home. Along with the overarching mission of CHAARG my exec team aspires to create a place where everyone can come together.”
“Over the past year at school I’ve talked to somany girls who have said how intimidating it is to go up to the weight room at our fitness center so theyjust stick to the ellipticals + treadmills. I decided tobring CHAARG to my school as a way for girls to feelmore confident + excited about their fitness journey as well as give girls a close community of other girlspassionate about the same things!”
“I wanted to start a Chapter at the University of North Texas because I always felt like something was missing from my college experience. I wanted to be passionate about something again + make connections with others while doing it. The process of applying was super easy — I was shocked to see how many girls already are super excited + interested to be in CHAARG.”
