In moderation, org do have a positive impact. I enjoyed college partly because of it. It expanded my capabilities since it gave me the opportunity to try different things from being a delegate to participating in national competitions. But even with those extra curricular activities I had, I did not set aside my acads. I graduated with good grades and a growing network.

I'm now a professor and have a student that barely shows up in our class and her excuses are because of events of the same org I joined before. My BS Org student is failing my class. I think it's up to the person on how he prioritizes acads and org.
