Ten organizations are the backbone of Meredith's strong student life program. Since that time, Meredith students have enjoyed an unusual amount and variety of input into the shaping of the policies, philosophy, and tradition of the College. Executive, legislative, and judicial branches comprise the basic structure of the current Student Government Association, with numerous boards and committees completing the structure. Students are elected to office through elections held early in the spring semester. Workshops and training sessions held throughout the spring and fall enhance the leadership ability and organizational skills of the newly elected officers.
All freshmen are eligible to run for a class office in their first semester.
Eligibility for Office Rising sophomores must have a 2.0 overall grade point average at Meredith to file for office, while rising juniors and seniors must have a 2.25 overall grade point average at Meredith. A student who has been given a reprimand for probation by the Honor Council may not file for office during the period of reprimand or probation. A student who does not maintain her designated grade point average will be asked to give up her office and will be replaced with an appointment made by the SGA president. The purpose of the Programming Board is to bring together Meredith College's major campus organizations to meet the programming needs of the Meredith community and to encourage active participation in all sponsored events. The Association for Cultural Awareness provides a support group for minority ethnic groups at Meredith.
