Attention Freshmen! Enosinian Society Information Session

Hello Enosinians!

The Enosinian Society is well into its Fall 2009 season having hosted our second debate last Wednesday on the role of lobbyists in democracy. As part of our efforts to reach out to the new freshman class, we would like to cordially invite you all to our Information Session this Wednesday, September 30th at 8pm in the Honors Building. This brief session will be a great opportunity to learn about the history, composition, and purpose of our Society, as well as a chance to find out how you can get involved with the Society by becoming a member of our Debate Committee. Come out and see how you can get involved with GW's premier debate society and oldest student organization!

Are lobbyists a pernicious plague on American democracy, introducing money, influence, and impropriety to public policy? Or are they steadfast representatives of minority interests vital to American economic power and underrepresented in Congress? We hope to see many of you there to take on this issue!
