About WhatsApp group chat:
We noticed that last year there were some outsiders in this society community posting ads or scam messages, which was really annoying. But there are a lot of students who joined this community last year, and we want to make sure you can always stay connected with PES, so we decided to keep using this community channel.
To keep out things like ads, members who join via a link or QR code won't be able to speak in the waiting room. You can fill in this Google Form to let us know your information, and our admins will verify your membership details before adding you to the main group chat, where you can chat with people, ask questions, and find out about our new events!
