We are so glad you are interested in joining IU Dance Marathon.

Get to Know Us

Indiana University Dance Marathon (IUDM) is IU's largest student organization and the second-largest student-run philanthropy in the world that supports Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Despite our name, we're not actually dancing or running! We spend the year fundraising together, leading up to a 36-hour Dance Marathon where thousands of students stay on their feet for Riley kids and families. Last year, IUDM raised $3.1 million for the kids! 

Membership Options​

 

There are a few different ways to find your place in our family depending on the experience you’re looking for.

 

If you’re a first-year student:

Our First-Year Dancer Experience (FYDE) is designed for first-year students who want to get involved with IUDM in the fall. FYDE meets weekly on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. in each residential neighborhood, fundraises together, and prepares to participate in fall events, including our 36-hour Dance Marathon.

 

You can fill out our interest form and join the GroupMe here.

​

If you’re an upperclassman looking for a lower-commitment way to participate:

Join a dancer team through your Greek chapter, student organization, or Friends of IUDM if you aren’t affiliated with one of those groups. Dancers fundraise throughout the fall and come together for major IUDM events, including our 36-hour Dance Marathon.

 

You can register under a Greek Chapter or student org here.

Check back soon to register under Friends of IUDM.

 

If you’re an upperclassman looking to be more involved:

Join one of our 18 committees, organized across four focuses, that meet weekly on Tuesday or Wednesday nights to plan events, fundraise, and help run IUDM throughout the year.

 

Some committees are still accepting applicants! You can fill out the form to be considered for a committee here.
