Womens volleyball tailgate

As women’s volleyball celebrates clinching its 15th conference title, students, faculty and fans can join in on the fun prior to the game against Glendale Community College.

The Associated Student Organization will host a tailgate to support the women’s volleyball team this Wednesday at 5 p.m.

ASO is also offering free pizza, drinks, engaging activities and opportunities to make connections with the organization so they can get to know the student body.

The previous football tailgate held in October was a success, according to ASO President Efren Lopez.

“It was a good turnout, both students and faculty members came, even a couple of football players,” Lopez said.

The previous tailgate had food, games and it was, according to Lopez, community building. Lopez expects more of the same for this event.

“The upcoming volleyball tailgate is expected to be even better because of the location,” Lopez said. “This tailgate is going to be right outside the gym, where the game is going to happen.”

Lopez said the tailgate is about sports and bonding and spreading Brahma pride to the community.

“We want to create that sense of community, that Brahma pride, you know? That’s the most important part,” Lopez said, “Sometimes we feel a little disconnected from this college, and I think when we do [tailgate] events it creates that connection, and you feel welcome. It creates that student life that a lot of students want at this school.”
