Frequently Asked Questions
What does SGO do?
Our charter is as follows:
“SGO represents and serves the interests of the student body. Its principal duties include managing the group chartering process, appointing students to committees, and meeting with Swarthmore College faculty, staff, and the Board of Managers.
“SGO also oversees the Student Budget (SBC), serving as a regulator and advisor to SBC in its allocation of the Student Activities Fund and on campus-wide policy matters as detailed in the SGO and SBC constitutions. Additionally, SGO will encourage campus-wide discussions and engagement and actively solicit student opinion.” – SGO Constitution, Purpose

Most members of SGO are elected in the Spring. We will announce election dates and the process well ahead of time. All students are eligible to vote for all positions.
