This invitation letter was provided by SCSY Director-General Sophia Clementi.
For the past 34 years, the Security Council Simulation at Yale has been the premier crisis-based Model United Nations conference on the college circuit. To say that this year’s SCSY, held at Yale’s campus on October 4th-7th, will provide an incomparable delegate experience is no understatement. This year SCSY will raise the bar by providing a conference that is not only of the highest quality and level of professionalism, but also dedicated to novel topics and fast-paced, innovative crises.

Delegates have been enjoying the crises at SCSY
The Security Council Simulation at Yale (SCSY) emphasizes its fast-paced, innovative crises and it seems like delegates are loving the conference — there were plenty of good comments at the Head Delegates meeting including delegates mentioning that their committee was the best they had ever been in. You can check out Part I of our photoblog, and Part II is below. Don’t forget to follow SCSY through their own social media including their Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook.

Who are the Best College Model UN Teams in America?
Which college Model UN teams are the best in the world?
We saw many benefits to answering this question and devised a methodology to create a set of rankings — we released our first set of rankings based on results up to March 21, 2011. We then took Best Delegate readers’ feedback on the rankings and methodology and made revisions to the methodology accordingly.
Please read the Methodology article first before jumping into the rankings. We clarify in the article our purpose behind the rankings, our philosophy that drives what we value in the rankings, the two Divisions in the college circuit, and several revisions to the methodology.
With that said, here are the top 1-5 teams on the college circuit! These five teams (along with 6th-ranked Harvard) were the elites for this season and consistently racked up awards at all the conferences that they attended — these six teams had a considerable margin in their overall scores compared with the rest of the circuit. Congratulations on a successful year!

The top of the college circuit is fiercely competitive. U.Penn celebrates one of its many victories here.
Which college Model UN teams are the best in the world? The Best Delegate team decided to answer this question with our Top 25 Standings. We had to separate the college circuit into two divisions and devised methodologies for both divisions. We recommend reading the two links before jumping into the standings.
The standings are based on results as of March 21, 2011 which allowed us to capture results from WorldMUN. The standings reflect only team performances at conferences and not the overall quality of the program (i.e. it does not measure if a program hosts conferences or have any other special activities).
Here is the list of the top 1-5 college Model UN teams. These five teams — along with West Point — each have a team of all-stars and consistently win and contend for multiple best delegation awards each season. They have the results across several of the most competitive conferences to demonstrate their success. Check out which colleges made our Top 25!
