Welcome to the Philonomosian Society of Georgetown University!

The Philonomosian Society is Georgetown's foremost debate organization: revived and adapted for modern times. Our purpose, as articulated in 1845, is "to promote eloquence and to acquire an accurate knowledge of history and of the leading social and political questions of the day." We pursue this through weekly debates on topics of business, public policy, ethics, law, and philosophy. We accept all attendants and persuasions, in line with the Chicago principles of free speech. Additionally, we foster camaraderie and friendly competition with our unique Cohort system. 

Please join us on Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 10:00 pm in the fourth-floor conference room of the Rafik B. Hariri Building for our weekly debates. Nomos!
