Illini Pride is the “biggest and best” student organization on campus, boasting over 2,800 members last year. Illini Pride supports all 19 varsity athletic sports and provides a way for you to cheer on your Fighting Illini, get involved on campus and meet new people. Another huge part of Illini Pride is the Orange Krush, which is the student cheering section for the men’s basketball team. The Orange Krush helps raise money for the Rod Cardinal Sports Medicine Fund and local charities.

Being a part of Illini Pride is a great way to spread enthusiasm for Illinois Athletics and give back to the community.
