Re your message: The article was deleted because you did not establish why the group is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Additionally, the tone of the article was promotional with the use of the words "we" and "our" along with the general description of the society. You are welcome to recreate the article if you can establish the group's notability and write the article in a neutral point of view. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:18, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

More explanation

Copyright is a serious issue for Wikipedia: see Wikipedia:Copy-paste: "Copyright does not need to be asserted – if the source says nothing about licensing or copyright, you must treat it as copyrighted." Just asserting authorship is not enough: for one thing, we have no way to be sure that someone on the end of a wire is in fact the copyright owner. Wikipedia can only accept material copied from elsewhere if a formal copyright release is made as described at WP:DCM. In practice this is seldom worth doing because material written for other purpose is usually too promotional or otherwise unsuitable for an encyclopedia article - Wikipedia should not be mistaken for a notice-board.

In any case, your article was not deleted for copyright reasons but because it did not indicate Notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is selective about subjects, and does not expect to have articles about every society, or every person, company or band. Notability, in Wikipedia terms, is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones (like the University site) and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it important enough to write significant comment about? More detail in WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and the WP:FAQ/Organizations

Experience shows that very few student societies can meet this test - see Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines, particularly the section "Student life." It is usually best to cover societies like this by a mention in the main University article. I should also say that because we know that many of our 3,500,000 articles are below standard, appeals on the lines of What about those other articles are not accepted - each article is considered on its own merits.
