I'll probably join. If it's only $80 then I can handle that considering the thousands of dollars med school costs. Plus it's $80 less I would spend at the bars
 
I may be missing something, but I don't know if I want to pay 80 bucks just so some organization who does Lord knows what can say that they have such and such a number of students involved in their organization. Maybe they do worth while things, I don't know - has anyone had any experience with SOMA besides getting Netter's (which isn't happening this year)?
 
I am a SOMA officer, and I'm not entirely what I'm supposed to do. They told me to just keep doing what I've been doing, but I guess I'm supposed to tell them about it now? Oh and I'm supposed to come up with an idea for national osteopathic week in the fall (or something like that). I hae yet to get a specific answer about what national osteopathic week is. I guess its pretty osteopathic though.
