Mortar Board Kicks off True Blue Game Days

The Xi Phi Chapter kicked off their year long True Blue Game Days Campaign on Tuesday, September 16th at the Volleyball Game against Fort Hays State University.  True Blue Game Days was created to help foster school spirit and promote student attendence at home sporting events.  Throughout the day, Mortar Board members passed out flyers to students wearing "loper blue" or other UNK appearal.  At the game, students could turn in the flyers at the Mortar Board booth for a chance to win raffle prizes donated from community businnesses.  Mortar Board will team up with other campus organizations to sponsor six more True Blue Game Days throughout the school year.

Mortar Board members Rachel Nozicka, John Gibbs, and Kelsie Post help staff one of the booths at the first True Blue Game Day event.
