Savage, as defined in the dictionary, is one who is fierce, wild, rugged and proud. Those definitions definitely fit the people of the Southeastern campus. Faculty, staff and administrators are fierce in pre- senting the best environment for learning. These people are also fierce in protecting the students rights to a quality education. Students are equally fierce in their pursuit of higher education. As competitors, their fierce pride shows as they strive to be the best.

When tory is won, the stands go wild. If defeat reigns, the f are wild in their praise for “doing the best possibl Savages are proud.
