THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!

On a very very tight margin, the motion we’ll be debating this week is…

THIS HOUSE WOULD DATE A FINANCE BRO!!!!

Pull up to the Pankhurst Building tomorrow to watch some smart people argue about the merits of dating an LSE grad… and see if your love life has any hope i suppose…

We also have pizza on a first come first serve basis, as well as a cheeky pub social afterward! See you there!

Last but definitely not least!

Our most recent pride and joy, European semifinalist and freshers fair poster girl knows every single stock mech that has ever been stocked. Apparently (not confirmed), she also has a lot of questionable, disturbing animal stickers on instagram despite her love for capybaras. Her matter files are surely thicker than the modern bible, and i don’t have anything else to synthesise into a paragraph audrey this is surely good enough to convince people that she will train people into becoming the goats.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we give you Annamaria Wirtz!!! (Annamaria Wirtz)

The penultimate pen drop has been penned!

My personal goat, this former Germany WSDC captain will momentarily be remembered for his novice final at KCL IV, where neither him nor his teammate were present when being named champions because frankly they had better things to do. Despite his ghosting of our recent endeavour to try and go to Utrecht Euros, I still believe in him because he seems like somewhat of a good kid and therefore will surely make sure the society stays well (?). And no he didn’t pick this song because he actually refused to choose one.

The legend himself, Yuye Qian!!! ()

We’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to bring you some news on how you can get involved with us over the next two weeks!

We have a couple of exciting things going on for freshers and continuing students alike to assimilate into our community, whether it be trying debate out or even just watching some smart people speak about some funny things. Feel free to reach out to any of our committee’s friendly faces (we promise even Rayaan won’t bite) at any of these events to learn more about what we’re like and how we can get you competing as soon as possible!

As of now, our room bookings for the Show Debate and the Give It A Go are not finalised, so check back in with our WhatsApp later in the week to find out where we’ll be convening those.

We can’t wait to greet you guys for this upcoming academic year!!!

No signs of stopping yet!

There is no one more fit to be our public debates officer than Elsie - her PR credentials include being a Reslife LSE vlogger, diplomatically listening to Amanda’s hourly bowel movement updates with no complaints, and carrying Taiwan’s reputation in LSE on her back as basically the only Taiwanese undergrad on campus. And that’s all on top of being a victim of her endless history readings, which you WILL hear about if you ask her how life’s going. With Elsie in charge, you can look forward to incredibly stimulating public debate events and collaborations with other societies and guests this year - just be prepared to bring coffee/matcha/bubble tea (or all of the above) (throw some cookies in there too) as payment.

Can we please get a drumroll for Elsie Duann!!! (Elsie Duann)

guys i promise i didn’t write this one

Eitan Loo is a very busy man. Don’t be fooled by his aurafarming mannerisms because he is down to squeal about any of his latest fixations. Apart from his full calendar, he deals with, on the daily, speculations and rebuttals about his sexual orientation, navigating the tough world of love, the latest hot new thing in musical theatre, and starting every prep with “wait trust me bro i think this happened back home.” It is unclear how many things are going on in that head, but he seems to deliver bomb social media posts either way, so he must be doing well for himself. He is the chancellor, the dictator, the almighty, the supreme leader, the chairman, but remember to send a little love his way.

Can’t not have a Malaysian on committee, it’s Eitan Loo!!! (810)

Plot twist: there’s MORE!

Unironically, Edna’s debate quote is what she tells Eitan to do most of the time, be it when taking their GV101 MCQ or in rounds when neither of them know what’s going on. Rather unsurprisingly, this brainrotted Armenian-American-(name other country) with an obsession for running the overcrowded prison system in America case knows a lot about how to have fun, whether it’s a Monday afternoon Murph or funky pres for Sway because “just trust me bro.”

It couldn’t be anyone other than Edna Yeghnanyan!!! (էդնա🧜‍♀️)
