GSA questions- HELP - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

So next year I will possibly be going to a school outside of California. And for those of you that don't know, California is pretty accepting so moving out of state is really scary.
So I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when I found out they have a gsa! (:
Anyways, my point is I'm going to email the club soon and ask questions.
So far I have;
-whats the support system like?
-whats the average number of members in your club?
And something like:
Do you have any members of your club that do campus tours?

And that's all. What would you guys want to know about a prospective schools gsa?
I'm REALLY nervous so I'm almost positive I'm missing some questions.
Pleeeease give me ideas, I really need help

I might ask about social activities. Some of the clubs can be quite fun, I think.

I'm so glad your thinking of joining the GSA next year! I'm the vice president of the one at my school.

And I think the questions you have are pretty good.

You probably could also ask about social events and fundraisers they have.

Oh impressive! I wonder how different the college gsa's are from the hs ones (:
And that's a good idea!

Maybe asking about any social events that the GSA does, like a coffee nite or something, would be a good question to ask too...

Does anyone think it would be innapropriate to ask about the LGBT population? Like how big how small?
