The Yale Political Union is the largest undergraduate organization at Yale, and the only group of its kind in the country. Modeled after the Oxford and Cambridge Union Societies, the Yale Political Union exists to politically engage the University community. Each year America's great social and political leaders visit the Union to discuss current affairs and debate with the most engaging students
on campus. Senators and governors, judges and journalists, activists and academics alike come to the Union to debate topics such as "Resolved: The United States Should Open Its Borders," "Resolved: The Left has Become the Enemy of Liberalism", "Resolved: Political Activity is Essential to Happiness," and "Resolved: Yale Should Discontinue Legacy Considerations." Members vary from those who come only several times a semester to hear their favorite guests, to those who spend nearly every day immersed in some form of Union activity. All you need is an interest in politics.
