The social movement literature has ignored the heterogeneity of social movement organizations (SMOs). Many SMOs must incorporate both radical and moderate tactics in order to please the diverse activists composing the organizations. Even within these “encompassing social movement organizations” the radical tactics seem to be marginalized. I studies SAGE (Students Advocating Gender Equality), an encompassing SMO on the Muhlenberg College campus. Through historical comparative analysis of SAGE’s tactics between the years 2001 and 2003, content analysis of the campus media, interviews of SAGE members, and a survey of the general student population, I discovered that the radical tactics employed by the encompassing SMO aid the overall success of the organization, despite the general population’s negative perception of them. If radical tactics are so successful and important to encompassing SMOs’ own success, then why are they still marginalized? SAGE performs radical tactics much less frequently than moderate tactics, and the majority of the general population seems to think that that is till too much. So, relax SMOSs; feel free to perform radical tactics without worrying that they will not be received well by the general population because their opinions aren’t the predominant determinants of tactical success. Furthermore, the social movement literature cannot ignore encompassing social movement organizations anymore, much more research is needed to understand the complexities of encompassing SMOs.
