In an effort to promote female inclusiveness, some Georgia Tech faculty have proposed a one-word change to its 107-year-old fight song.
A statement posted on the Georgia Tech website said that this was part of "on-going effort" to "modernize" the way Georgia Tech women are portrayed.
There is a counter-petition advocating against any changes to the fight song's traditional form.
Users also took to social media to address their support or grievances about this proposed change.
Some were heavilly opposed:
Some members of the community say the lyric change would not fit within the context of the song.
Some Twitter users declared their support for the change, saying a small modification would have a broad positive impact.
