Participating in Campus Groups in The Sims 4 Discover University
Head to a University Kiosk to learn the upcoming schedule for Organizations on your Sim's campus.
A major part of The Sims 4 Discover University is the campus life, and it delivers one aspect of that student experience via the Student Organizations system. Here I'll list them all out so that you can determine your options depending on which of the two Universities you're attending, and what skills/activities are involved. If there's a substantial reward, we'll look at that as well.
How to Join
Once your Sim is in one of the student organizations, the old Get Together Clubs panel is used to give you a measure of progress and activities that will increase your standing in the group.
For all but the Secret Society joining is a simple matter of going to the University Kiosk, selecting 'Get University Info' then Organization Events. This will bring up a schedule of events for your university (though it's possible to switch to the other). Note the time and either head to the location when the event is on, or you may use the Kiosk to 'Go to Event'.
When you're at an event, introduce yourself to a Sim that is likely a member (they will tend to wear similar outfits or t-shirts). You can ask to be let in, and the open nature results in a join. Now your organization panel (hotkey 'U') will change to show upcoming events, your current rank, and what you need to do in order to be promoted.
Ranking Up
Gaining Ranks in Student Organizations is pretty simple once you're in. Being friendly with other members will show a symbol above your Sim's head. Of course, completing tasks will have to be part of that process and you'll need to check off all the tasks to get a new set.
It's important to note that being friendly with other members may be key to ranking up in these, though you can only use the option so much. I managed to fill the bar nearly to full using only socials, then needed to finish the remainder of it by finishing the activities listed.

Secret Society - "Order of Enchantment"
I have a page with a bit more information on the Secret Society and everything involved with them. They can be joined no matter which of the two universities you're attending. Both campuses have a statue to which you can use, "Make Offering for Academic Success". Offering a rare metal or crystal, or excellent-quality baked goods (desserts) will result in a visit from the Secret Society the following night (bear in mind there is some cutoff late-night on which they won't come until the next evening). They'll even wake your Sim if you are asleep.
Related Skills and Activities: Game Description: The secret of the sprites has been held precious for generations. It is truly a gift to be awoken to their blessings. Bestow the sprites with respect (or sweets) and they will graciously return the favor. Snub them and things may not go as well for you.
Joining this has a number of powerful benefits, but may rely on you doing some collecting for maximum effect. See my guide to the Secret Society (Order of Enchantment) for more information.

I don't believe you can. My sim is attending Brightchester, but I wanted her to join the robotics org and I had her attend a few of the events. The option to join never showed up. I had her attend the debate club event and introduce herself to one member and she was able to request to join immediately.
Britechester Spirit Corps: Expect your school's Lobster Mascot or the Juice Keg to make an appearance at one or both of these gatherings. (The Lobster mascot is from Foxbury.)
Foxbury Spirit Squad: The Britechester Spirit Corps has a mission to spread the joy of school cheer in everything they do. (The BSC is obviously from UBrite, not Foxbury.)

The Sims 4 Tiny Living Stuff releases January 21 for PC/Mac, and February 4 for Xbox and Playstation 4. This new pack centers around the idea of making small homes and receiving bonuses to bills, comfort, and strangely skill gains for living in a small house. I'll make a guide page by release day but for now you can watch my Livestream Summary below to get a good grasp on what's coming in this new Stuff Pack.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
I've started a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.

Can you only join the organization for your university?
No idea tbh, try it and see. Just save your game first before trying to join so you can quit without saving if you don't like the result.
I don't believe you can. My sim is attending Brightchester, but I wanted her to join the robotics org and I had her attend a few of the events. The option to join never showed up. I had her attend the debate club event and introduce herself to one member and she was able to request to join immediately.
Right, that would make sense I guess
I think the descriptions for the Spirit organizations are reversed.
How so? ?
Britechester Spirit Corps: Expect your school's Lobster Mascot or the Juice Keg to make an appearance at one or both of these gatherings. (The Lobster mascot is from Foxbury.)
Foxbury Spirit Squad: The Britechester Spirit Corps has a mission to spread the joy of school cheer in everything they do. (The BSC is obviously from UBrite, not Foxbury.)
Thank you! Amazing how I can reread and reread and still not see the issue!
