Yes we're social, but what about the leadership, service and academic components of our organizations? How can we develop a term that embodies all of these areas and more?
What campuses and organizations have given up on "social" and considered new terms such as "comprehensive" or "leadership?"
I'm open to any and all ideas and look forward to the conversation.

Because that is how a 501(c)(7) is defined by the IRS. We are considered to exist for the benefit of the membership, thus contributions to us are not tax-deductible. Many of us have 501(c)(3) foundations or funds through which we can accept tax-deductible contributions for the purpose of charitable activites.
