2014 Inter-society Debate 

Phi Kappa Literary Society is inviting all alumni, actives, and guests to join us in our annual tradition of the Inter-Society Debate with our historic rivals and companions in debate, the Demosthenian Literary Society. 

The debate topic this year  presented, “be it hereby resolved, the development of artificial intelligence greater than or equal to human intelligence would be detrimental to humankind” with Phi Kappa Literary Society arguing for the negation. 

Phi Kappa’s team consists of Bro. Banton, Bro. Grant, Bro. Hord, Sis. Lewis, and Sis. Singh.

The Demosthenians will be presenting the definitions to be used before the debate as part of their introduction of the affirmative argument. 

The debate will be held Thursday, March 27th in the The Larry Walker Room in Dean Rusk Hall. 

Phi Kappa is meeting in front of Phi Kappa Hall on North Campus at 6:30 to walk over to the Courtroom together. Come out for what is sure to be one of the most stimulating debates of the semester!
