9/2/2011 EDIT:
FIRST OFFICIAL MEETING IS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 AT 8PM ON BUSCH CAMPUS SERC 204 (HILL CENTER BUS STOP)
Calling all scarlet knight SC enthusiasts --
We're about a month away from the Fall 2011 semester and Rutgers University is going to be seeing more SC action than ever before! Get ready for weekly meetings, tournaments, parties, clan wars, trips, trollfests, and more snacks than you'll know what do do with 
For those of you who don't know about us or are new to RU this year, I'll briefly explain who we are and why you should spend time with us 
The RU SC club traces its origins back to the Broodwar days, when some guys who liked to BM a little too much would cheese Princeton and Duke for collegiate glory (and lulz).
This went on until 2010, when a game called SC2 came out and our distinguished elders realized that it wouldn't run on their shitty laptops. To their dismay it was announced that the CSL would be switching to SC2, and things were looking desperate for the RU ESPORTS scene. Being a SC2 noobie myself, I went ahead and put together a brand new team, and less than a year later we had new club leaders, a top 16 run in the CSL (out of about 150 schools), and over 50 registered club members. We had viewing parties, club dinners, tournaments, a live showmatch vs Princeton (there will be a part 2 very soon I hope), and lots and lots of GAMES.
This year will be even bigger! Club president Spec set up an internal ladder system for CSL spots. It's on hiatus at the moment because people have been away on vacation, but there should be a lot of competition once school starts. There are a lot of mid-high masters level players active in the club (some playing GMs on ladder), so this is a very good resource for finding a practice partner and improving your game.
So if you are interested in joining the club, reply here with your Bnet info or just send me a PM. You can also join us in the "Rutgers" Bnet chat channel. All skill levels are welcome, and you are not required to have a laptop to participate! Even if you don't really play/only watch pro matches/ just want a cool place to hang out, you should stop by and say hello 
So tell your friends! Spread ESPORTS around campus!
much <3

the people at RU are good SC players and very friendly. I am considering attending RU for graduate school. I contacted them with questions about the team/atmosphere, and since then they've practically included me into the community!

YES!
Alumni are awesome and can get involved in the RU SC community, the only thing you CAN'T do is play in the CSL tournament.

Cool thanks That might be an incentive to try and play more often if I have the time. My main 2s partner last season was Rich Jin (NewType- played for you guys a few times iirc). Regardless, gl hf with the upcoming season ^^
