As an incoming Freshman for next fall, I must ask any alums/students? Do CSG do anything whatsoever? Reading that Daily article gives me the impression that it is a huge joke.

For the most part it is a huge joke. However, I guess last year they worked with Brandon to fix student seating... (Dumb GA policy would've changed anyway). 

Usually it just ends up being a title for resumes for the students and sometimes the epicenter of the pro-Israel/Zionists vs pro-BDS/Palestinians circle jerk. 

The most I've interacted with CSG is just for funding purposes for my student organizations on campus. That is probably the furthest extent to which people outside of CSG probably interact with CSG...

Whatever they do or do not do, when the regents or the media want to obtain "official" student input, CSG may be where they'd naturally turn. They are the popularly-elected representatives for the student body, and therefore they may be expected to speak for you and your concerns.

If my time at Michigan was indicative of anything, he may actually be better than any of the CSG people begging for our votes. Hell, a friend of mine almost gamed the system for the Maize Rage party one year, being that he had already graduated, and no one noticed until the 11th hour...

Really, CSG is the biggest crock ever.

Dammit, here I thought Harbaugh was invincible and shit. So much for my dream of him going undefeated for 7 straight years
