BECOMING A MEMBER

CONSIDER THE COMMITMENT
Certainly, it is an honor and a privilege to be a member of War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen. Along with this, however, comes a tremendous deal of responsibility. There are only 26 members in the group, and our services are in demand. Therefore, this organization must be a priority in the life of each War Eagle Girl and Plainsman.
Attendance to all home football games is mandatory. If a member elects to attend an away game, it shall be his or her responsibility to be present in uniform with the group.
If selected, you must attend Senior Speeches and WEGP Retreat on February 22nd.
