It’s a secret society that basically controls the student elections. They’ve had a history of vandalizing property and threatening candidates who run against it (see: the Governor’s daughter in 1992 and the boycott of Bama-Bino’s Pizza for some examples). IMO, it’s unfair that they take away Homecoming Queen and SGA positions from others just because they aren’t affiliated with Greek Life. Like seriously, SGA positions are huge resume boosters and it’s not fair to take them away from more deserving candidates.

The SGA pres is an AA guy and I don't think he is in any of those.

He ran unopposed. Machine backed candidates have lost only a few times in the past, but more often than not they win.

You can be backed without being in a machine house, although as someone mentioned the list above is old. Certain NPHC groups are affiliated more closely than people think.

all sororities but theta and sigma kappa are in the machine. theta is very anti machine and it earns them a lot of hate. I’m assuming sigma kappa isn’t machine since they’re so new.
