Rock Painting Party
Each year, prior to the annual Moundbuilding ceremony, the Student Government Association hosts a Rock Painting Party for the student body to join together and prepare for Moundbuilding festivities.

Moundbuilding Ceremony
The Moundbuilding Ceremony is an event at the beginning of every school year on the first Thursday that classes are in session. SGA puts together a presentation of the rocks around campus and is presented in Richardson Auditorium giving a description of the meaning for each rock that is shown. When the presentation is over, everyone from the campus and the Professional Study Centers is invited to join together at the Mound at the bottom of Christy's 77 steps in front of Mossman Hall. Once everyone is gathered around the Mound, the different organizations, athletic activities, academic activities, fraternities, departments, employees, students, and staff place their rock on the Mound adding to its depth. This Mound represents the unity of the college and their continuing mission to be "The Premier College of Kansas."

Registered Organizations Fair
At the start of every school year, SGA sponsors the Registered Organizations Fair. This event allows all registered student organizations to set up a booth to advertise, recruit, and showcase the mission of their organization.

Homecoming Ceremony
Each year, the students of Southwestern nominate Juniors and Seniors to be crowned Homecoming Queen and King. Although SGA is no longer in charge of the event, SGA still assists with resources for the elections and ceremony preparations.
