The Chicago Debate Society is the University of Chicago's debate team. We're a registered academic organization that competes in the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA) circuit as well as in British Parliamentary Debate. As one of the oldest student organizations at the University, we play an important role in stimulating debate on campus, including hosting the annual Langfan Constitutional Debate. Our weekly meetings consist of practice rounds, drills, and seminars that teach debate style and argumentation. We send teams to tournaments almost every weekend throughout the school year and host our own annual tournament the last weekend of March.
