+*"What is Redbrick?"* - this is the age-old query which has plagued the DCU Networking Society for years.
+Redbrick
+is such a diverse society that a million monkeys working on a million typewriters for a million years might
+reproduce the works of Shakespeare, but they'll never come up with a concise explanation as to what Redbrick is.
+
+
+Simply put, Redbrick is a rather big social society with a slant on computers and technology. We host a plethora
+of techy events designed to entertain and educate anyone and everyone, including cinema trips, pub nights and
+tutorials and workshops on programming, web design and graphic design. Expect to see the return of the annual
+RedBrick Freshers' Ball *(booze! booze! booze!)* and the table quiz.
+
+Redbrick isn't just about events though; we are lucky enough to own our own servers on which we host the
+services used daily by our members: Redbrick Discord Server *(our most popular service, as it's great for
+putting off assignments until the last minute, waffling about whatever's on your mind and meeting new
+people)*,webspace *(host your own website with massive amounts of storage space)*, forums/message
+boards, the photo gallery and your own `@redbrick.dcu.ie` e-mail address. We also have our own [**wiki site**](https://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie),
+where all members can create/edit/~~vandalise~~ pages on whatever you feel like. You can access all of these
+services from any computer connected to the Internet.
+
+
+Networking societies are to be found all over the country, and Redbrick - as part of the Intersocs network - is
+often found mingling with other nerds from Trinity, NUI Maynooth and University of Limerick, both at
+Intersocs events and in the Discord channels.
+
+
+So, if you want to make new friends, talk about anything that's on your mind, or just get twisted because you
+have nothing better to do with your time, RedBrick has something to offer you!
