The J-Crew organization is dedicated to lifting the spirits and Javelina pride at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK).
You can often catch a J-Crew member running through the football field proudly waving the school colors or going wild every time the mighty Javelinas make a touchdown.
J-Crew was founded by a group of true blue Javelina undergraduates and their purpose was to bind student activities and the athletic department in hopes of creating a unique “Game Day” experience.
Consequently, Kingsville has been named the best college football atmosphere of the nation for an NCAA Division II university.
“Our goal is to be leaders in spirit initiatives. We are always looking for people to join and showcase their Javelina pride,” said Nina Lazaro, an Animal Science Pre-Vet major.
Besides showcasing Javelina pride during the football games, the J-Crew also participates at Hog calls.
“Being part of the J-Crew has impacted me by allowing me to show school spirit through campus events and activities. Since I’ve joined I have gotten the opportunity to meet and start networking with people all around campus. J-Crew is a great way to show Javelina pride,” said Alejandro Garza, a Kinesiology major.
There’s no doubt that TAMUK has pride for their athletic teams when the J-Crew begin to chant and waive their flags across the field.
The J-Crew offers a unique and special experience at each Javelina Nation game.
“J-Crew has definitely made me realize how fun being a Javelina can be. Being able to get on-field experience and truly connect and become interactive with the crowd is rewarding. J-Crew has definitely offered me true Javelina friendships and has truly made me enjoy the football games even more, ” said Amber Mosier, an Animal Science Pre-Vet major.
