NSU may not have football team, but for the members of Finatics, a student organization formed to promote school spirit on campus, there is still a lot to cheer about. Finatics became an official student organization in August. Their goal is to develop Shark pride through several initiatives, including creating a fight song and game chants.
Mike Straus, sophomore business major and the organization’s founder, said, “[Our] goal is to make going to sporting events a priority, where the people that aren’t going to the games look like they’re crazy.”
Straus and his team are want to increase attendance at sporting events.
Brittany Schemtob, president of Finatics, said, “No school starts out with die-hard passionate fans. It starts with a small group of people that have a vision for what it could be and they make it happen. Players work their butts off, and we need to give them the support they deserve.”
The group plans to hold pep rallies throughout the year and is seeking volunteers.
The group holds meetings every other Tuesday on the second floor of the Don Taft University Center. For more information call, 954-262-8050 or email Brittany Schemtob at bs753@nova.edu.
