I am currently considering starting up a a student group on my college campus to play D&D.  The problem I am running into is that I am not quite sure how to organize and run it.  One option would be just to have a group where people could meet up and start their own groups with us facilitating.  I don't really like this option though as it only makes the club an outside party, and not something people would want to come to.  The other option would be to have the club run one or two campiagns for people to join.  The problem here is that we have no way of controlling how many people join, or if people even show up on a week to week basis. So does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Possible. As it stands, I have a bunch of casual players who may or may not drop in once a week. Good enough, I guess.
