What is SAID?

SAID is a student-run organization recognized by SGU that promotes responsibility. It is a pledge to make smart and responsible decisions in whatever you do. We plan programs during what is thought of as the "PEAK" partying times to offer alternatives to drinking alcohol and making irresponsible decisions.

SAID promotes responsibility in the community. We follow all six Saint Leo University Core Values:

• Community
• Responsible Stewardship
• Respect
• Personal Development
• Excellence
• Integrity

SAID was chosen as the 2007-2008 Outstanding Organization of the Year by SGU
