Oakham House - now a part of the new Ryerson Student Campus Centre - is home to a number of Oakham Societies. The goal of these Societies is to encourage the social and culture growth of the Ryerson community, by providing activities for students, staff, faculty, and alumni to participate in. Unlike other student groups on campus, Oakham House Societies are open to all members of the Ryerson community.

Oakham House Adventure Club
A theatrical outlet that allows, under the most professional circumstances possible, all Ryerson community members to participate in an active theatre program that includes a series of one-acts, during which original material may be used; and full-length plays.

Oakham House Choir
Offers members of the Ryerson Community (and the general public) the opportunity to sing a great choral repertoire in one major concert each semester. The unique cultural experience of performing with a professional conductor, orchestra and soloists is usually restricted to professional or semi-professional trained voices, but without compromising standards of performance, the Oakham House Choir is open to amateur singers of moderate talents.

Improv Society
Aficionados of improvisational theatre - made famous by The Second City - will thrill to workshops conducted by some of the city's most notable instructors, improv games and the opportunity of performing in front of a live audience both on and off campus and engaging in inter-university competitions, And, even if it's not the spotlight you are seeking, developing improvisational skills will help improve your confidence not to mention give you a few laughs.
