BEEKA is a club dedicated to engaging all of its members in the culture of the Balkan, Kavkaz, and Eastern European regions and bringing people together.

Thus far, we have around 94 members on beINvolved and 140 members in the GroupMe chat. The organization was established in January. 2021 (last Spring semester). We are very ambitious to continue growing the organization and leave a legacy behind us for the future generations to come at IU.
What is unique about our organization is that we have included all those regions into one organization, which is a broad tent of cultures that share common history to some extend, or even cultural similarities. Unfortunately, there are some conflicts that still exist within all those aforementioned nations. We believe that the new generation should not be burdened with those conflicts, which is what our countries teach us back home. Rather, our goal is to bring together those nations and simply engage with one another in a respectful manner. This will further fertilize our members and will serve as a good lesson to continue this mission even after Indiana University, where it began.
