• Comment: Thanks for starting this draft. At the moment, most of the sources are from the club's own website. Please add more Wikipedia:Secondary sources to show how it's notable enough for an encyclopedia article.
  The flowery language also needs to be toned down a bit: for example, the sentence "These events are one of the most well-organized and meticulously planned events hosted by NDMC. The entire campus is impeccably arranged, with every room, pathway, and balcony utilized to its full potential" is not written from a neutral point of view.
