Our Story.

Avant-Garde was birthed from the heart of Tech Alumna Cindy. In December 2007, she sat in the BSO Office after finishing her last final and conversed with fellow students about life, school, and fashion. She began to talk about how she always wanted to create a fashion and arts organization, AG Alumni- Romanda Powers and Chanel Rogers were present and supported the idea. So over the Christmas holidays she created a detailed plan for this new organization-- she was excited!

On her first week back Cindy managed to gather over 30 interested pupils, secured an adviser-- Jackie Cox, and filled out the paperwork to make Avant-Garde an official organization.

With the help of friends she managed to get the word out and applications were turned in for those interested in executive positions. On February 19, 2008 Avant-Garde held its first official meeting. A dozen executive members were introduced and close to 102 potential members came out to learn more about Avant-Garde.

our song.

I'm a Ramblin Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an Engineer A Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva, Helluva Engineer Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear. I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an Engineer

Oh, if I had a daughter, sir, I'd dress her in white and gold,
And put her on the campus To cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do--
He'd yell: 'TO HELL WITH GEORGIA'!' Like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum, and Sugar three thousand pounds A college bell to put it in, And a clapper to stir it round. I'd drink to all the good fellows, who come from far and near. I'm a Ramblin', Gamblin', HELL OF AN ENGINEER!
