SGA is not the only organization representing the University's students.
Another student representative body, the Ag Hill Council, regularly meets with the goal of aiding South Campus students.
Since the 1940s, clubs from the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences have sent representatives to the Ag Hill Council.
"I generally refer to Ag Hill as the SGA of South Campus," said Brandon Harrelson, a senior from Baconton.
"The Ag Hill Council was created to bring South Campus clubs together to discuss different events for each individual organization and to allocate funds to these clubs," Harrelson said.
The council is led by the president, Harrelson, and a vice president from each of the three represented schools.
"The Ag Hill Council has a rich history as the representative body for South Campus students," said Jonathan Lee, a junior from Macon and the Warnell vice-president.
Lee said it allows Forestry students to know what is going on in the other South Campus clubs and in Warnell .
"We all try to support each other," said Anna Daniel, a senior from Jackson and the vice-president representing the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
The money Ag Hill distributes comes directly from the office of student affairs, Lee said.
Harrelson said allocation of money depends on Ag Hill attendance and club size.
The council holds meetings twice a month in the conference room of Four Towers. The next meeting will be Wednesday, September 19.
