Mission

Mission
The Georgetown University Grilling Society, or simply GUGS (the first "g" is soft, as in "genius") was founded in the Summer of 2002 with a few simple goals in mind, to create an organization attractive to Georgetown students who:

- love to grill
- love to cook and eat good food
- want to meet new and exciting people
- want to learn more about the art of grilling
- want to share their knowledge of grilling with others
- want to be a part of a special Georgetown tradition
- want to have a good time

Since its humble beginnings as a 4-person club with one mysteriously-acquired grill, GUGS has grown into one of Georgetown's most popular social collectives. The members come first, fun comes second, while food conveniently binds them together.

Spring of 2004, GUGS was co-named Outstanding Student Organization of the Year. In the fall of 2004, GUGS shared the 1st place award for Best Traditions during the Georgetown Traditions Day competition. It is without a doubt that with the continuing support of our members and fans, the Grilling Society will continue to thrive in the Georgetown community, bringing good food and good atmosphere to students, faculty, administration, and visitors alike!

The Georgetown University Grilling Society Creed:
Beneath the trees which line the grounds of Georgetown, the Georgetown University Grilling Society strives to maintain the fundamental values of mankind through bonds and friendships forged in the very fires upon which we cook.
