Student Government Association
I always thought that the student government association (SGA) was just a popularity contest, just like high school's student council. As much as I thought it was stupid, I have always LOVED voting weeks. Mainly because I got hooked up with all types of free stuff such as: pizza, chick fi le, pens, candy, cookies, stress balls, and apparel! I never voted for anyone, but acted like I was very interested in what they had to say because I was getting free stuff. Lately however, I actually have payed attention to how SGA works because I have to contact SGA's from other campuses with my internship at SustainU. They are not just popular frat boys and sorority girls but many of them are very accomplished people who want to better their campus. Some of them actually do care about their campus are interested in doing what it takes to make it better. Therefore, I voted for the first time in my collegiate career for who I thought was the best candidates. Some of it is whacky and they make ridiculous claims that will never come together (kind of like real presidential elections), but SGA does have value!

i do agree with you that some people are actually involved in SGA because they want to better our school, but some of them are definitely in it for themselves.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am only subscribed to a few people in our class's blogs, I have to say it is nice to hear someone actually say something positive about SGA at WVU.
