			'''The Chapel''' was built in 1904 to house religious services. Prior to this, there had been a Chapel on the third and fourth floors of [[Main House\|Main Building]]. Following the construction of the current Chapel, that space was converted into Assembly Hall.

			In modern times the Chapel is no longer used as a religious space. Convocation, admitted students day and various student performances occur here. The basement has storage spaces used by the Vassar College Choir and Drama Department.

The '''NSO''' ('''No Such Organization''', formerly '''Nonhuman Students Organization''') is Vassar's gaming org; they sponsor board-, card- and video-game based events as well as Trivia Nights, Casino Nights, and perhaps most famously Vassar's shadowcast of [[Rocky Horror]].

== History ==
The NSO was founded under the name Nonhuman Students Organization, allegedly named in reference to an oddly-worded clause of the VSA constitution.<ref>According to rumor.</ref> It was initially primarily a media-lending organization with a focus on genre media.

The NSO's first annual Rocky Horror shadowcast was in 1995.

Until 2019, the NSO ran a convention, known as No Such Con or Non-Con.<ref>I'm not joking. https://www.facebook.com/nosuchconvention/</ref> A combination of logistical issues and the COVID-19 pandemic led to an end to the event.

	~~Welcome~~ to '''VassarWiki~~''', a wiki for the Vassar College community!~~		Our existing communication tools weren't built for college life. Emails are overwhelming and easy to miss, official sites only push information from the top down, and social media hands control to corporate algorithms. These tools fail because they don't reflect the fluidity and collaboration of life at Vassar.

	~~A wiki~~ is a website that is collaboratively edited and governed by its users.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki</ref> While many wikis are encyclopedias, they don't have to be. VassarWiki was created to be an encyclopedia and more: an open space for the Vassar community to ~~collectively~~ share and organize ~~information~~.		'''VassarWiki''' is a common space for the Vassar community to share and organize knowledge. Any community member can contribute, so keeping up to date is a shared effort instead of an individual burden. And as a persistent resource, VassarWiki is building an institutional memory that survives the four-year student turnover cycle.

	~~The goal of VassarWiki is~~ to ~~democratize our information infrastructure, build institutional memory that persists beyond the student turnover cycle~~, and bridge isolated corners of our community. We each have unique knowledge—we should share it, not keep it trapped in our heads or let it disappear after we leave campus. There are many reasons to help, like to advertise events, memorialize your time here, or raise social/historical consciousness.		If you want to help us, you should contribute! All you need is five minutes and something worth sharing.

	== Getting started ==		== Getting started ==
			{{See also\|VassarWiki:Help}}
	~~=== Who can contribute? ===~~

	Anyone connected to Vassar can contribute! All you have to do is [[Special:CreateAccount\|sign up]] with your Vassar email.

	~~=== How do I contribute? ===~~		You can edit a page by clicking the "Edit" button by a section or at the top of the page. You can either use the visual editor (recommended if you're new to editing, but more resource-intensive and slightly less capable) or switch to the source editor on the upper-right. Make whatever changes to the page you want, write a short edit summary, and save your changes. If your changes are non-controversial and superficial (e.g. fixing typos or minor formatting), click the minor edit button before saving your changes.

	~~Once you register an account, click~~ the "Edit" button by a section or at the top of the page. You can either use the visual editor (recommended if you're new to editing) or switch to the source editor on the upper-right.

	Make whatever changes to the page you want, write a short edit summary, and save your changes. If your changes ~~only contain ''~~superficial~~'' differences~~ (e.g. fixing typos or minor formatting ~~errors~~), click the minor edit button before saving your changes.

	~~If you want to create a page, search the name of the page you want and click the red link.~~ [[VassarWiki:~~Templates~~\|~~You may want to use~~ a ~~template~~ to ~~get started.~~]]		You can [[VassarWiki:Creating a page\|create a page]] by going to [[Special:EditPage]] and entering your desired title, or clicking a red link with the desired title (on desktop, you can find one by searching it).
