Rice University’s South Asian Society (SAS) is a secular, non-partisan student organization that provides South Asian cultural enrichment to the Rice community and provides a platform for students to explore their South Asian identity. Membership is open to the entire student body where various cultural events, guest speakers, and other programs allow our members to share the South Asian experience with Rice University — and beyond.
