Southern Society to Secede from GUSA

Last Thursday, Southern Society President Jeff Davis called an emergency session of the Southern Society Council to vote on secession from GUSA. The secession crisis began after an interview with student body president, Myron Borganstern, was printed in The Hoya.

In the interview, Borganstern announced his intention to ban “Sweet Home Alabama” from ever being played again at campus parties. The President was quoted as saying that Georgetown could no longer afford to be divided between those with good musical taste and “those stupid redneck Skynyrd fans.”

Southern Society member Bobby Jones (MSB ‘05) proposed to the council that secession was necessary, as the proposed ban threatened everything the Society stood for. “If we don’t act now, things will only get worse. What’s next, a ban on roofie-laced punch? Our parties will end up worse than AEPi’s.”
