Anyone want to help me come up with a plan for expansion of this article? Let's start a list of topics and information that might be added. --ElfWord 08:26, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Greek Life

Anon IP 65.38.9.35 has been adding lists of sorority chapters to many college and university articles. I don't think it belongs here. Can we get a consensus as to whether this should stay or go? --SuperNova |T|C| 03:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think listing all the groups is such a fashion conforms with the guidelines for a university. If there is no opposition I am going to revise that section in a week or two. --Eaglefan7385 (talk) 18:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] School size

Georgia Southern is not the third largest university --Thejermdotorg 20:35, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chemistry Department

I'd like to add a section discussing the Chemistry Department at Georgia Southern. According to what I've heard from many professors, it's ranked very well in its system of institution and accredited by the American Chemical Society.

[edit] Motto

I have found no reference doing multiple searches for the schools motto being "Your UNIVERSITY. Your FUTURE. Your GEORGIA SOUTHERN." To me this sounds like a slogan, if even real, and not a motto for the school. If it is real I don't believe the capitalization is unnecessary. --Jerm 06:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I've seen that slogan/motto used in GSU advertisement in the student newspaper. I doubt its the official motto, though. -- Wtt 23:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Noted People

The famous alumni section needs work. Georgia Southern has had many thousands of successful alumni this section should be confined to those who have exceptionally distingushed themselves such as a highly successful pro-athlete or a founder of a large corporation. While Miss Georgia Foresty is a great achievement i do not think it warrents placement on an encyclopedia article about this school above all the other alumni. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eaglefan7385 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Centennial Place

Summer is here, and it seems that the information relay at GSU dies. I tried looking up news articles about Centennial Place and found close to nothing. I'd like a little information about it here. I was surprised when there wasn't any. News Article (141.165.33.159 (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC))
