ABOUT US:
We hold weekly meetings on Tuesdays at 8pm on the third floor of Walker, on the river side (50-306). On most weekends, we attend tournaments at various other colleges in the Northeast, occasionally flying out to schools like Stanford. We even go abroad, to such tournaments as the Worlds University Debating Championship, the North American Championships, and the Oxford and Cambridge Intervarsities. In 2008, Worlds was held in Cork, Ireland, and NorthAms in Amherst, MA.
The benefits of joining the debate team include learning and practicing efficient and persuasive public speaking, discussing any and every topic you can think of, all-expenses paid trips to other schools, meeting fantastic people from said schools, running the MIT tournament, etc.etc. The downside is spending various Friday nights and Saturdays away from the MIT campus (but hey, that can be a benefit also).
To join, just come to a meeting! For more information about how membership works, see the FAQ.
