Meetings this year so far...
  • We had a discussion centered around Bisexuality: The Facts and Fictions, led by President Jared and Secretary Kelly.  Everyone is welcome; this is the perfect opportunity to have your questions answered about bisexuality and to dispel some myths about the oft-debated sexual identity.  Topics will include the nature of bisexuality, the specific obstacles bisexuals face, and the worst reactions to give when a friend comes out as bisexual.  Like always--Wednesday (November 11) at 8 pm in the lounge, Benson 218!
  • Wednesday, November 4th - we will meet at 7pm in the GSSA Lounge (Benson 218) to hold elections for the position of Treasurer, and then we will attend the 7:30 show of "Sonnets for an Old Century" in the MainStage of Scales.  This brilliant play is a series of monologues of characters who have one last chance to talk about their lives and shouldn't last much longer than an hour.  Please send an e-mail to Kelly Bernhardt (bernka6@wfu.edu) if you plan on attending so that she can purchase your ticket.
  • Wednesday, October 28th - GSSA will be decorating Halloween cookies while watching a Halloween movie and wearing AWESOME Halloween costumes. GSSA Lounge (Benson 218) at 8pm.
  • Friday, October 23rd - GSSA will be having an Ally dinner with pizza and friends at 6pm (location Lower Auditorium of Wingate Hall.) We're expecting representatives from many organizations on campus to show their support and learn about the importance of allies.  There will be pizza--hope to see you there!).
  • Wednesday, October 21st - GSSA will be going out to dinner at Athena's Greek Taverna.  Space is limited, so please RSVP to Kelly if you intend to come. We will meet in the lounge at 6:45.  Please also let us know if you are willing and able to drive!
  • Wednesday, October 14th - GSSA will be celebrating Coming Out Day in the Wake Forest way--those who are comfortable doing so will share the stories of when they came out, and there will be delicious cookies.  We hope to see you all there!  It will be in the GSSA Lounge (Benson 218) at 8pm.
  • Saturday, October 10th, GSSA will be having a Homecoming Tea Party in the GSSA lounge (Benson 218) from 1pm to 3:30pm.  We would love for you to stop by, enjoy some tea, coffee, or snacks, and enjoy the company of everyone who is excited for homecoming!
