Krewe of Green Wave Mission

Remember back to April of this year and the first time you heard Tulane might drop athletics to Division III. Then, think about May and the fight to get the word out to all Tulane supporters, fans and alumni. Remember the contributions, the teamwork and effort to "save" Tulane football. Finally, recall the relief and celebration of June 10th when "our" efforts helped save something we all love so much.

Many, many fans, alumni and supporters came together for this victory. From the "fan" that didn't attended Tulane but liked the underdog when he was a kid, to the alumnus who had not purchased tickets since his graduation 20 years ago, a fire was awaken in all of us to "do more" for our team.

Less than 60 days have passed since our victory. We have taken to momentum from this victory and some of the key players have decided to create the Krewe of Green Wave. The KOGW is:

  • A not for profit corporation created to connect Tulane supporters and alumni throughout the world, communicated the internet (a new website) and email list to help support athletics.
  • We will identify & raise funds for special projects for Green Wave Athletics.
  • We will commit to increasing the college game-day atmosphere.
  • We will increase Green Wave recognition and presence in the local and national media.
  • Work with alumni groups and local booster groups to get more fans at the games.
  • Increase your news and knowledge of what is happening with Green Wave Athletics. We will have open communication so June 10th will NEVER happen again.
  • What KOGW is not:

  • Stepping on the efforts of any booster club or alumni group. We look forward to working with and complimenting the efforts of any current organization.
  • A replacement for the YOGWF or Scoreboard or any other TU website.
  • Think of the Krewe of Green Wave as a worldwide Internet Booster club. We will have a Board of Directors (You will be very impressed to see the group we have invited to facilitate our direction and open doors).

    Officers of the Krewe of Green Wave:
    President: Our own Oliver N. Blue: Scott Slatten
    Vice President: Perry Leslie
    Secretary: Trey Macdiarmid
    Treasurer: Charlie Giraurd

    The Krewe will be inclusive. If you want to help, you are invited. We are open to all ideas and issues. Think of IPTAY (Clemson's fund raising group) with the power of the Georgia Athletic Association.

    Membership in the Krewe of Green Wave runs from August 1st of each year and ends on July 31st of the following year.

    Krewe of Green Wave Membership includes:

  • A lunatic Fringe Tshirt (see it on the Gear page),

  • Individual shirts are being designed for each game and will be available for purchase.
  • Member discounts: We are talking to the hotels and airlines about member discounts.
  • The $50 membership goes to the Athletic Department.
  • Most of all we will NEVER let June 10th happen again.
