Intramural Sports
Different intramural teams are formed throughout the year. The soccer team, hockey team and basketball team are comprised primarily of Army ROTC cadets who play through the intramural leagues and finish with a game versus the Airforce ROTC. The winner of the series wins the coveted Boot, an award which resides in the winner's ROTC office.

Bear Patrol strives to support the troops overseas by writing letters, sending packages, and generating awareness of the sacrifice service men and women are making for the country.
