Being a member of the GU Eating Society will grant access to all events that we host, particularly membership-only restaurant events and bonding events. However, we do host events that are open to all Georgetown students, so non-membership does not mean that the GU Eating Society's events are off-limits. If you do become a member of the Eating Society, you accept the opportunity to attend these events, and therefore are required to be an active and involved member of the organization. If you find that you are too busy in your current schedule, we ask that you do not apply to become a member or forgo your current membership in order to grant the opportunity to someone else.
As a means to gain even more experience, members additionally have the opportunity to join a variety of committees: Marketing, Social Impact, Internal Outreach, External Outreach, and Membership. Through these committees, members can acquire skills in planning, organizing, and executing events, as well as valuable skills in marketing, social media, and communications. We find that these committees are an additional way that members can gain value from their time with the GU Eating Society.

The Application is by no means designed to make this organization "exclusive," but rather acts as a way for us to get to know how involved you will be as a member of the organization. Through the application, we look for genuine passion for learning about culture and cuisine like we have, and those who are willing to take strides in making the organization better for all.
The reason we have an application process in general is due to our small budget; as we are not an organization that aims to separate individuals based on their socioeconomic status, we have a limited budget designated to subsidize members' meals either partially or fully based on need. If we were to be an open club and accept everyone, we find that we would automatically be subject to hosting events for those who can only afford to attend, and thus have found that an application process is our best option. Again, we do not want the organization to seem exclusive – GUES was created by two people who were tired of the exclusivity of Georgetown clubs and wanted to share their passion for food with others.
When filling out the application, please take it seriously. We typically do not move people to next round if we receive one word or one sentence answers on his or her application. The more effort you put in, the more that will shine through. Pro tip: Just be yourself, that's the best version of you.
