Rookie Semester


To honor their son, Matt Luedke, our Fall '25 Rookie class met with the Luedke family and talked about the importance of Spikes and the lifelong connections that come with it. This is a semesterly tradition we hold close to our hearts.

Our Spring '20 Rookie class worked with a few active members and the Texas Lonestars to volunteer in their annual Project Princess Boutique Day as a part of their semester service projects.
