Recently, Milligan College's Student
Government Association announced the Buff Club as a recent addition to one of
their several sponsored clubs.
The Buff Club is for people who have ran three successful runs naked across
Milligan's campus. The first run consists of running from Webb Hall's porch to
the Hyder House and back. The second run is from Webb Hall to Hyder
Auditorium--up the stairs and back. The third is from Webb Hall to the Milligan
post Office and back. A potential club member must run these three courses naked
in order to be initiated into the club.
Ever since its beginning in 1924, more members have joined every year. Most of
the members are men; although, a few women from the class of 2005 joined the
club as freshmen.
A high-ranking SGA officer said that SGA is sponsoring this club due to its
popularity on campus. Ceremonies for the new additions to the club will take
place at the beginning of every semester. Each new addition will receive a Buff
Club t-shirt..
Several of the females of SGA are working on Buff Run for women that does not
start on Webb Hall's front porch.
"I think it is unfair that (women) have to start out on Webb's porch," said
sophomore Lauren Douty. "The guys do not have to run on or by the women's dorms.
If we make a new plan for the women, more women will join the Buff Club."
The Buff Club will officially begin in the fall with more than 100 students
being inducted into the club.
