Questions have recently surfaced on campus about a mysterious organization known as KRUUE. The group has distributed some promotional flyers around campus, and many rumors have been circulating about the organization’s activity. Due to the mysterious nature of KRUUE, some students got the feeling that the group was very exclusive. Their hunch was accurate. KRUUE is essentially a networking organization that promotes businesses, events, and college life by selecting an exclusive board of students from the university to decide what should be promoted. Using a KRUUE constructed list of criteria, the organization selects 60-100 members to join, focusing on students with leadership positions. This select group then decides what KRRUE should and should not promote, based on their knowledge of the campus and the student body. Entering this group, however, is no easy task. “By joining KRUUE, you’re entering the most prestigious networking group on campus,” said founder and CEO Zach Samson. Paul Reed, the head KRUUE member at Wright State agreed, “You don’t ask to join KRUUE, you are asked to join KRUUE.” Despite the group’s highly exclusive selection process, they strive to benefit the entire university. “We will be putting on events that are exclusive for our members, as well as events for the entire university” Said Samson, “We will also be offering scholarships for both members and non-members.” Samson stated that the primary business goals were to save college students money on products, to get members jobs with KRUUE after college, and to use the power of networking to provide entertainment for college students. As far as personal profits go, there are no mountains of money being made by the big names of KRUUE yet. “The profit margin is actually pretty low,” said Reed, “We’re putting on events and putting most money back into the University.” Wright State will be the third college covered by KRUUE, along with Central Michigan University and the University of Louisville. The business is still young, but it is scheduled to do big things. According to Samson, the organization is set to expand to 12 universities by December 1st. Wright State’s section of KRUUE will be launched on October 1st. For more information on KRUUE, visit their official website www.kruue.com or their Facebook page.
