ʳɫ¹ÙÍø Libertarians

Our purpose is to promote liberty on Davidson's campus and in our wider community by bringing speakers and opening communication between students on subjects including freedom of speech, civil liberties and government involvement in our lives.

ʳɫ¹ÙÍø Republicans

The ʳɫ¹ÙÍø Republicans seek to foster an inclusive and open political discourse on campus. We work both independently and with other campus organizations to host events, educate students, turn out voters, and engage with the student body on primarily North Carolina politics. We align with the values and policies of the National Republican Party, but do not discriminate in our membership with respect to politics or any other quality described in ʳɫ¹ÙÍø's anti-discrimination clause.
