The Philanthropic Assembly proudly continues the rebellious tradition of Society father David Gillespie, who led the organization to break away from the Debating Society just 
twenty-nine days after its foundation. The Phis follow the ideal of libertas (hinting at a long-standing point of disagreement between the two Societies) in addition to the old Di values of virtus and scientia. President Ellen Crouch currently leads the Phis in the continual search for self-betterment. Find a list of current active Philanthropic Senators below, and hover over each Senator’s photograph to see their personal statement. Also see the Philanthropic Constitution here.
