Recognizing the significance of personal integrity in establishing these ideals within our community, I pledge that I will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate these unethical behaviors in others.”

HONOR COUNCILThe Honor Council seeks to educate the college community about the LaGrange Col-lege Honor Code and enforce the Honor Code when violations occur.

Ben Crumbley, Reporter Kathryn GarvinAshley DeFreitas Aaron HillTakita Farley, Appeals Rep Carl StraumsheimJenn Fields Kelsey TinkerAndrew Gaines, President

Dr. Nina Dulin-Mallory, Advisor

THE SOCIAL CODEThe Social Code attempts to instill in every member of the student body a sense of moral and community responsibility. As such, LaGrange College expects its students to adhere to community standards. Likewise, if some fail to live up to these codes of conduct, the College expects students to enforce these standards through the Social Code and its Social Council. In this way, students assume the obligation of upholding the integrity of their community and of ethically preparing themselves for the world beyond college.
