Congratulations to all of the officers and may we have the best semester yet under their guindance. It’s one of the most well-rounded selections we have seen in quite a long time.
Admin on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 Please join the Phi Kappa Literary Society on March 7th as we discuss arguably one of the most cotroversial policies of the USG Board of Regent’s: it’s ban on undocumented students. Brother Walker Smith will be first affirming, and Brother Ben Woodard will be first negating. Guests are encouraged to speak and ask questions as well.
We will also be hosting guest speaker Richard Milligan, a Ph.D candidate in the UGA Department of Geography and organizer with the Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition. He will be delivering a guest oration titled “Celebrating Courage, Sponsoring Fear: The Ban on Undocumented Students 50 Years after Desegregation at UGA”.
The Definitions for the Debate are as follows:
Ought- “Should”, this is a good old fashioned normative debate. The University has a moral obligation to allow the following.
The University of Georgia System- All chartered state educational institutions. Community colleges already allow, whether explicitly or by enforcement, undocumented students.
Repeal the ban- Allow the affected parties to attend classes and attain an accredited degree.
Undocumented students- Any enrolled or formally enrolled student of the University who was born to foreign parents in a foregin nation, currently live in the United States and do not possess a visa or any other form of legal documentation.
Admin on Friday, February 15, 2013 On February 25 at 6:30 P.M. in the University Chapel, the Phi Kappa Literary Society will be orchestrating the 50th year anniversary of “The Debate That Never Happened” between Sam Webb, National Chairperson of the Communist Party USA, and Dr. Greg Morin, a leader within the Georgia Libertarian Party. The topic of the evening shall be “Is Full Employment Possible Under Capitalism? Solving America’s Jobs Crisis.” To understand why this is such a special occasion, a bit of history is necessary.
50 years ago, in 1963, the University of Georgia was a much different place than it is today. Deep in the throes of the Cold War, and still in the wake of the McCarthy Era, geopolitical tension was palpable in ways unimaginable in our day and age. At the height of the ideological battle between communism and capitalism, the Phi Kappa Literary Society of UGA attempted to hold a debate between Arnold Johnson, director of the Information and Lecture Bureau of the Communist Party USA, and Dr. David Wright, leading economic authority at the University of Georgia. This attempt, however, was squelched by a unanimous vote of the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs. Then-President Aderhold went even further, accusing the Society of attempting to “incite riot.” In the spirit of free speech and debate that has guided the Phi Kappa Literary Society since its inception in 1820, we will recreate this debate on its 50th year anniversary.
The Phi Kappa Society also invites all guests to proceed across the North Campus quad to Phi Kappa Hall at the conclusion of the main debate to participate in another that shall be conducted solely by the members of the Phi Kappa Society. We will be hearing debate on the topic “Was Jesus a Communist or a Capitalist?” Guests are encouraged to take the floor to speak at this debate.
***While tickets are free, they are limited and in high demand. Please contact Ben Woodard at bpwood@uga.edu for information on how to reserve tickets.

Admin on Monday, February 4, 2013 Come and join the Phi Kappa Literary Society for our annual historic debate where we will be taking on the question “Was Brutus Justiified in Slaying Caesar?”. Each year the Phi Kappa Literary Society digs through the annals of our history, and recreates a debate that we’ve held in years past. This year, we are revisiting a topic that was originally discussed in 1823.
