McMaster Social Sciences Society
Established in 1988, the McMaster Social Sciences Society, commonly called MSSS ("The M-Triple-S"), is composed of undergraduate Social Sciences students enrolled in 3 or more two-term courses in an academic session. The Society represents its members on committees, is a point of contact with the campus-wide McMaster Students Uniom, organizes social and academic events, and provides funding support to student clubs relating to academic departments in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Events organized by the Society include an annual formal, and participation in both McMaster's frosh week (titled "Welcome Week") and the McMaster Students Union Olympics. While all executives have a say in the workings and events of the MSSS, there is an executive member elected to specialize in one field of the Society's operations. Elections for these positions occur yearly and are open only to students in the Faculty of Social Sciences. The Society's office is located in the Commons Building.

—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“In a town-meeting, the great secret of political science was uncovered, and the problem solved, how to give every individual his fair weight in the government, without any disorder from numbers. In a town-meeting, the roots of society were reached. Here the rich gave counsel, but the poor also; and moreover, the just and the unjust.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
