The
SAME Student Chapter at Georgia Southern is proud to announce its achievement of bronze status in the Wings Incentive Program at this early date!

I am proud to announce that the Society of American Military Engineers Student Chapter @ Georgia Southern has been awarded a Distinguished Student Chapter Streamer for the 2015-2016 school year. Only 16 of the 59 Student Chapters (27%) received the Distinguished Streamer. :-)

The Georgia Southern Student Chapter of SAME made it into the paper!

Students team up to support local family Phi Kappa Theta, along with Phi Mu, SAME and others, are helping to host a blood drive on March 30, at the Southern Hospitality Conference Center at Springhill Suites in Statesboro.

Our Student chapter helped support this great cause!

What a wonderful 100 Pints of LIFE blood drive we had today in honor of Irelynn! We are so very grateful and overjoyed at the powerful attendance and presence of all the blood donors and volunteers and sponsors that came together to make the drive such a success! Thank you everyone for contributing to such an incredible cause and helping provide the gift of LIFE to our daughter and the many others who are in need. Tomorrow Irelynn will receive her 98th blood transfusion. Today we collected 99 pints. We made our goal! 🙌🏻💉❤️ You all ROCK!!!

Congratulations to the students elected to serve starting after after graduation this May for the next academic year.
