PURPOSE
Tulsa Spirit members are ambassadors of The University of Tulsa. Spirit members support Tulsa athletics by engaging with the crowd to help lead our teams to victory. Spirit members also attend campus and community events to engage with supporters of The University of Tulsa, TU Athletics, and TU Spirit.

SQUAD FUNCTIONS
TU Pom typically consists of 10-20 members; however, the number of team members may vary from year to year.

All members of the pom squad will dance at all home football and men's and women's basketball games. We perform during 1^st and 2^nd quarter of football and during the first half of basketball. Select members will be placed on a travel team and will travel to away football games and men's and women's basketball conference games.
