Indiana University, Bloomington. Residence Halls Association

Due to the development of coeducational living centers, the Inter Residence Halls Association was formed in 1960 through the merging of the Men's and Women's Residence Halls Associations.

In 1976, the name was changed to the Residence Halls Association. The RHA is made up of all the undergraduate students who live in the IU campus residence halls. The purpose of the organization is three-fold. First, it gives students a voice in the policies and programs of their residence halls. Next, it aims to promote a diverse, comfortable living environment and finally, RHA provides students with leadership opportunities. Specific services provided through RHA include planned programs and activities such as dances, sports, tournaments, and general entertainment as well as freshman orientation to help incoming students adjust to college life.
