What are the X-treme Fans Board of Directors and how can I apply?

The X-treme Fans Board of Directors are a group of 16 students that work together to create and promote special events and giveaways with the help of the Xavier Athletic Department. The Board is split into three teams:

  • The digital team that works to create graphics, social media posts, giveaways and merchandise, and videography.

  • The communication team that works to run the website, emails and outreach, TikTok page, and overall communication with campus partners.

  • The events team that works to plan events such as giveaways, member events, crosstown, student trips, and various logistics across campus.

Students can apply for the Board of Directors at the start of every school year by visiting  http://www.x-tremefans.com and filling out the application found on the website or going to the X-treme Fans group on EngageXU and finding the form there.

Who can apply?

All Xavier students can apply! From incoming first-year students to upcoming seniors, we encourage anyone who enjoys Xavier Athletics and getting Xavier students engaged at sporting events to apply for the Board of Directors. 

How can I be apart of X-treme Fans if I am not on the Board of Directors?

First, you can join the X-treme Fans Club Membership! Pay $20 for the whole year and take part in exclusive member giveaways and events. For example, this year students were given an exclusive water bottle created by the X-treme Fans Board of Directors. In addition, take part in member exclusive events to win swag, prizes, and points!

Second, if you don’t want to be in the club, come to events! Support all on-campus events, admission is free throughout the year. Come early, follow along on social media, and enjoy all that X-treme Fans has to offer!

What is “Let’s go x”?

Let’s Go X! is our app which serves many different purposes throughout the year. Students can download the free app, create an account with their Xavier email and log in. Students can “check in” to all Xavier athletics games, accumulate points and use those points to claim prizes during the year. Students in the top 500 on the app will also receive priority access to ticket pickup for a Men’s Basketball game during the year beginning at 2:00 pm on Monday’s.

How do I get tickets for on campus games? Are they free?

All students have access to free tickets to Xavier Athletic events. To games such as Men’s and Women’s Soccer, Volleyball, Women’s Basketball, and Baseball games, students can enter free with their physical or virtual All Card. Doors open 60 minutes before the game begins.

For Xavier Men’s Basketball games, students must claim free tickets online. On Monday’s at 3:00 pm during basketball season, students can enter the Xavier Athletics ticketing link and claim one free student ticket. Tickets are on a first come first serve basis and not every student is guaranteed a free ticket. 

What is the Campout?

The Campout is one of the largest student-run events during the academic year. The Board of Directors, in conjunction with XUPD, Xavier Athletics, and the Office of Student Involvement, will select one Men’s Basketball game during the season for the Campout to take place. Information regarding registration and other specific details will be released via our social media channels and website closer to the Campout date. 

How can I go to New York for the Big East? 

As second semester approaches, the Board of Directors will announce official details regarding the Spring Break trip to New York City for the Big East Men’s Basketball tournament. Students will leave campus on the Tuesday/Wednesday of the week of Spring Break and return to campus on the Saturday/ Sunday on the tail end of the week.

Games will take place at Madison Square Garden and students are guaranteed a ticket to every session that Xavier plays in. More information regarding trip logistics and operations will be released as the Big East Tournament approaches.

What is the time commitment when apart of the X-treme Fans Board of Directors? 

The Board of Directors time commitment varies on a week-to-week basis. Board of Director members are required to attend weekly meetings that are closed to the public. In addition, Board of Director members are required to be present at all Xavier Athletic events to help run various aspects such as promoting and participating in student giveaways, assisting Athletics in any capacity, and promote student engagement. Board of Director members also put in time outside of weekly meetings to ensure that different tasks and expectations of the Board are met, in addition to collaborating with different offices and clubs across campus.
