Membership
As one of the largest geographic Clemson Clubs in the US with over 5,000 constituents, our Club is able to plan and organize exciting social, networking and community service events thanks to our Membership Program.

Monthly Auto Drafts are linked through the Clemson Club's PayPal account, so you must have a PayPal account to set up your draft (if you don't have one, don't worry - it's easy to set up). Your draft will begin on the day you subscribe (set up your payment), and it will take place on the same day each month for your selected amount. Monthly draft amounts are pre-set for $8, $10, $12, $15, $20, $25, $30, $40 or $50.
**NEW - If you would like to support the Clemson Club at a different level, you can now create your own Auto Draft Membership here instead of selecting a pre-set draft amount.
