Bill to charter Decadence as a Chartered Student Organization under the Student Government Association
i.
Each member introduced themselves and their position in Decadence. The President
then gave reasons why the organization should be chartered: Bring more acapella to
the school, the student group does service, they also had a packed calendar last
semester, and each member directly contributes to the group as a whole. Each mem-
ber of Decadence is different as a music group which because they each teach them-
selves songs, and each person can have a solo if they would like one.
