Frequently asked questions
Here find you questions to some frequently asked questions
What is Fugax?
Fugax is a student association founded in September 2022 in Maastricht by a group of ambitious students who wanted to create a space for students looking for connection and friendship without partying and drinking being the main focus.
We see ourselves as an alternative student association. While we have our own traditions, our activities are generally more focused on creating a cozy, welcoming environment where students can meet others and build meaningful connections.
Is Fugax a traditional student association?
Not entirely. Fugax can best be described as an alternative student association.
While we have our own traditions, we do not focus primarily on nightlife or partying. Instead, many of our activities revolve around board games, books, movies, Dungeons & Dragons, social gatherings, and other relaxed activities.
If you would rather spend an evening playing board games or watching a movie than partying all night, Fugax might be a great fit for you.
Does Fugax have hazing?
No. Fugax does not have hazing.
Instead, we organize introduction activities that allow new members to get to know each other and the association in a relaxed and welcoming way. However, we organise a dinner where we give members certificates to still give them the feeling that they belong to a group.
We believe that hazing is not necessary to create close and long-lasting friendships. Mutual interests, enjoyable activities, and a safe environment provide a much better foundation for meaningful connections.
How many members does Fugax have?
During the 2025–2026 academic year, Fugax has 88 members.
What is Circle?
Circle is Fugax’s mental health initiative.
It consists of small, intimate groups of students who meet every two weeks to connect and discuss topics related to mental health and student life.
Topics may include:
- Stress and studying
- Loneliness
- Family
- Relationships
- Sexuality
- Culture
- Mental health
- Other personal experiences
Circle is intended to be a safe and confidential environment. What members share during a Circle meeting stays within the group.
Can I join a committee?
Absolutely! Members have the full right and are encouraged to become involved in one of Fugax’s committees. Some committees are buisier than others, but per average, 4 hours per week extra work can be expected. Depending on the committee, the workload can be more intense during a specific time or wide-spread during the year.
Current committees include:
Circle & Book Club Committee
Committee members are responsible for leading either a Circle group or a Book Club group.
INKOM Committee
This committee organizes Fugax’s activities during the INKOM period.
Activities Committee
The Activities Committee organizes regular activities such as board game nights, murder mystery nights, small trips, and other social events.
Members can usually sign up for this committee at the beginning of the academic year.
Treasury Committee
This committee oversees and checks the financial administration and monetary balance of Fugax.
D&D Committee
The D&D Committee helps create Dungeons & Dragons groups, manages the association’s D&D materials, organizes courses for Dungeon Masters, and occasionally hosts one-shot campaigns for members who would like to try D&D.
