Video Presentation Guidelines
Student organizations that are seeking student organization seating are required to submit a video presentation highlighting their organization’s contributions and impact. This video serves as an opportunity to demonstrate organizations’ safety in Bryant-Denny, value to the gameday experience, wellness, leadership, and philanthropy.
Video Requirements
Videos must be 90 to 180 seconds long (1.5 to 3 minutes) and include the organization’s President and at least one additional member. Videos must be created independently without the use of professional cameras or production crews. Members of the SGA Executive Council or Cabinet may not represent their organization.
Key Themes to Address
While not required, organizations are strongly encouraged to use the following guiding questions to shape their presentation and ensure all evaluation criteria are addressed. Organizations are also highly encouraged to include a presentation highlighting key achievements, statistics, past SOS photos, or events to showcase real examples of involvement and impact. Organizations also must ensure all audio and visuals are clear and easy to understand.
- Safety: How does/has your organization actively promote a safe, respectful, and sportsmanlike environment on gameday?
- Leadership: In what ways are your members involved in leadership roles across campus or beyond?
- Philanthropy/Service: How have your organization’s service or philanthropic initiatives created meaningful impacts?
- Wellness: How does your organization promote the wellbeing and overall support of its members and others during the gameday experience?
- Gameday Experience: How does your presence enhance the gameday experience of the university (e.g., on camera, crowd engagement, traditions)?
