WHY BECOME A MEMBER?

Studentsamfunnet in Sogndal is a student organization based at Meiriet, which is also run by us. We are a night club, a concert stage and a student organization that engages in activities such as music, dance, podcast, operations, photography, artist hosting, bar & guard and much more. (Read more about the different subgroups here). To achieve all this, we are organized into several subgroups and are run by volunteers.

As a member, you help to run the house and the organisation, you can also participate in all the subgroups we have to offer and benefit from several benefits:

As a member you get:

Free entry on all ordinary evenings at Meieriet (except quiz).
Discounted tickets for all our events and concerts.

What do I have to do to become a member?

To become a member, you must purchase a membership from us. You can choose whether you want to buy for half or a full year. (Purchased at linticket.no)
Participate in member duty at Meieriet once during the semester.

Membership costs NOK 250 for a year (2 semesters) and NOK 150 for half a year (1 semester)

As a member, you choose how actively you want to participate in the student organisation, some of our members, such as the board, the headguards and the subgroup leaders, have bigger tasks and work more to run the house, while others enjoy sticking to their membership duty. If you are a member, you are obliged to attend a memberships duty during the semester. This means that you work on one of our events, in a good spirit of service, and become part of the operation of the house. Our events would not have been possible without the help of our members. This evening you work for the others who are out, while the others will work the next time you go to party.

A membership of Studentsamfunnet is a great opportunity to meet new people, try new activities and give something back to the student community!

What is membership duty and why should I do it?

As a member of Studentsamfunnet, you are obliged to attend once during the semester. This means that you are working at an event, together with the volunteers at the house and other members. Our events would not have been possible without the help of our members. This evening you work for the others who are out, while the others will work the next time you go out.

When do I have to have my membership duty?

One to two weeks before your membership duty, you will receive a text with information about when we want you to work. If you want to work on a specific date, you can send an e-mail to our member manager at member@meieriet.no.

I have been put on member duty, but that doesn't fit. What do I do?

If the date does not suit, you can send an e-mail to member@meieriet.no. Feel free to suggest a new date. Sometimes it takes a while before we can remove you from the system. If you receive a message reminding you that you have been put on duty after you have notified the member manager, you can simply ignore the message.

What does a typical membership duty look like?

Membership duty is very nice! You get to meet new people and try your hand at being a guard or at the bar, snacks are served along the way, often in the form of fruit, sweets and chips and drinks in the form of soft drinks and coffee. At the end of the evening, pizza is usually served and occasionally we offer a slightly more exclusive dinner.

A typical membership duty can look like this

Attendance at Laben at Meieriet. Here you meet the rest of the gang who will be working with you this evening. There is coffee, chat and fun, the tasks for the evening will be distributed and you will receive good training in what to do.
The doors open. Everyone is in place at their post.
Snacks along the way. If you are on patrol, you may be on several posts during the evening.
The house closes, the last guests leave for the evening and everyone helps to clean up. Afterwards, there is food and drink for everyone who has worked and you can stroll back home.

The tasks one can choose from vary. Some typical tasks are doorman, scanning tickets and giving a stamp at the entrance, standing in the cloakroom, being a patrolman or bartender. If you should have questions along the way, you can always ask the head guards or any of the other active members of the house.

We look forward to meeting you at member's duty!

What does it mean to be a volunteer at the Studentsamfunnet in Sogndal?

Being a volunteer, also called "active" at Studentsamfunnet, means that you work or participate in a subgroup a certain number of times a month and receive something called "active benefits". How much you have to participate depends on which subgroup you have worked actively in. For example in bar & guard you have to work 2 small and 1 large shift to become active, you can also combine shifts from different subgroups and you can work actively whenever you want!

What do you get for being a volunteer?

As mentioned, it depends which subgroups one volunteers in, but something that repeats itself in several is; discounted tickets, queuing (allowed to skip the queue), take part in internal parties and Christmas parties, the opportunity to rent the canteen for free (Meieriets own partyroom) and more. To find out more about benefits and workload related to the group you are wondering about, contact the UGL for the subgroup here!
