College Republicans
College Republicans is an umbrella term that describes college and university students who support the Republican Party of the United States. The College Republican National Committee (CRNC) is the oldest campus-based organization for Republican students and was founded in 1892. It currently represents 250,000 students on over 2,000 campuses. The Republican Party is not affiliated with any college groups, although Republican Party members often benefit from college students' campaign efforts on their behalf. Campus chapters may function independently, may be part of a statewide organization, or may be affiliated with a national alliance such as CRNC. The various campus-based Republican clubs function as recruitment organizations for the Republican Party and have produced many prominent Republican and conservative activists.
Notable national college Republican organizations include:
The College Republican National Committee (CRNC), has historically been the main national College Republicans organization. Founded in 1892, it remains the largest and most active College Republicans organization with over 250,000 members on 2,000 campuses across the United States. The CRNC National Chairwoman and the national leadership team, including an executive director, political director, finance director, comptroller, national field director, treasurer, national secretary, and 4 regional vice-chairs, are elected at the bi-annual College Republican Convention. The current CRNC National Chairwoman is Courtney Britt.
In recent years, the CRNC has lost many of its state affiliates and chapters.[citation needed]
Following RNC Chairman Michael Whatley's dissolution of the RNC "Youth Advisory Board," the CRNC lost its 132-year long endorsement by the RNC.[citation needed]
The College Republicans United (CRU) was established in 2018 to oppose what was seen as a CRNC that was hostile to President Donald Trump. It consists of various college chapters in Arizona and Iowa. The leadership structure and bylaws of the organization are not made public. The CRU have been criticized for chapters which allegedly posted "anti-Semitic" and "racist" postings online, causing rifts between the CRU and other CR organizations and donors, and has been described as "far-right". The CRU drew further outrage after inviting Nick Fuentes, a noted "white nationalist," to their National Convention event. The group previously invited another white nationalist, Jared Taylor, to speak at a campus event. On January 31, 2025, CRU set up a table at Arizona State University's Tempe campus, "to urge students to report their peers for deportation to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement." The CRU is currently the smallest federation by state and chapter count, containing 5 collegiate chapters.
The National Federation of College Republicans was created in 2022 in response to controversies arising in the CRNC. The NFCR claims to encompass 22 state federations (including but not limited to Georgia, and Maryland). The NFCR Leadership positions consist of a Chairperson, a National Vice Chairperson, an executive director, a treasurer, a secretary, and a Parliamentarian. Rachel Howard is the current National Chairwoman of the NFCR.[citation needed]
The College Republicans of America (CRA) was established in 2023 and encompasses sixteen federations (Arizona, California, Kansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Missouri, Utah, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin); a plurality of clubs in Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and West Virginia; and a few clubs in several additional states. The CRA has over 200 active, affiliated College Republicans chapters. Some notable chapters are the Penn State College Republicans, for the Pennsylvania Collegiate Leadership Conference and sizable deployments, and the Harvard Republican Club, for history and influence.
