About Us

ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãSpirit Mission Statement

The ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãSpirit Groups consist of students who want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Our teams are surrounded by staff and peers who are committed to a culture of ethical, academic, and gameday excellence. But being a member of ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãCheer or Pom isn’t the end goal— it’s just the beginning. These students will leave not only as accomplished scholars, ready to launch their careers, but more importantly, as individuals who know who they are and how they want to contribute to the world. We are not Fort Worth. We are not Austin. We are Dallas. We are the Triple Underpass. We are the Tate. We are the Bush Library. We know what we believe. We are free-thinking. We are world changers. We are SMU. ÍæÅ¼½ã½ãSpirit doesn’t just support the university—we are the university. #raisingstrongwomenandmen
