Accredited Organizations
Accredited organizations are those that have successfully undergone the rigorous SOAR process, ensuring they meet set standards built from different memoranda, laws, and ordinances. Accreditation ensures that they adhere to legal mandates, including the Anti-Hazing Act, Quezon City Ordinances, and CHED memos, fostering a safe and enriching environment for all members. Accredited organizations are required to be registered through SOAR, a process that nurtures their growth and development, benefiting both their members and the broader Ateneo community. After successfully undergoing SOAR, these organizations are duly-accredited gaining perks such as having their own org room, DCB, and their own formator from OSA.
Independent Organizations
Independent organizations, hosted by LIONS, encompass a spectrum of groups, including emerging organizations, new initiatives, and established entities that are not yet accredited. Each independent organization brings its unique vision, advocacies, purpose, and potential to the table. LIONS provides a welcoming space for these organizations to grow, connect, and thrive within the Ateneo landscape. The journey of an organization begins in LIONS and through the support of the community, these organizations find valuable guidance and opportunities to make a meaningful impact on campus life.
