As new social media chair, I asked our officer core and crew to answer a little questionnaire for new members to get to know them better. I asked them
- What's you fursona species?
- What's you favorite album?
- What's your favorite movie?
Here were their results...

This Saturday we had our first meeting! Thank you all who came, and we hope to see you again soon.

My dumbass forgot to get photos in the meeting which talked about our club, our history, and our plans for the semester, so take some photos of some members playing mahjong after.

‪We recently collaborated with the Illinois State University Redfurs, and brought out members together for a wonderful picnic!‬

‪Thank you to everyone who came by, it was so fun to make some memories with other university furries!‬

Last weekend, we left campus and decided to try out some escape rooms! 🔍🐾

It was so much fun working together and unleashing our inner detectives!

Spring break is over!

Time to get back to it Illini, and take a break when needed. Maybe relax at one of our awesome social nights?
