About the 
Ramblin’ Reck Club

Be a part of preserving Tech traditions and promoting school spirit!

The Ramblin’ Reck Club has been serving Georgia Tech since 1930 when it was 
founded to maintain school spirit and tradition. Today in 2012, we strive to keep 
the traditions of Georgia Tech alive for the future generations of students on our 
great campus. The greatest honor bestowed upon Reck Club is the privilege of 

We also serve our campus in a larger role through working relationships with the 
Georgia Tech Athletic Association, Alumni Association, and student body at-large. 

Please answer the following questions, typed, and attach them to the application OR apply
at reckclub.org:
1. Why do you want to be a member of the Ramblin’ Reck Club?
2. Reck Club aims to be an innovative and problem solving group. For example,
thirteen years ago a probate in Reck Club suggested a spirit group for football
called the “Swarm,” and today it is composed of nearly 1000 members cheering
loudly at football and basketball games. Conversely, this season saw a lack of
student attendance at football. Please describe an idea you have for a new Tech
Tradition or symbol that promotes school spirit OR discuss a possible solution to
our poor student attendance at sporting events. Do NOT be afraid to get creative
and think outside the box!
3. Tell us about your favorite Tech Memory or Spirit Story.
4. What is your favorite Georgia Tech tradition and why?
5. Reck Club offers many leadership roles, chair positions and committees.
What aspects are you interested in and where do you see your biggest
contribution to the club? Why? (see the attached list of the club’s current
committees and responsibilities)
**To help us remember you, please attach a picture of yourself where you are easy to
identify.**
Applications are due by Monday January 28th at the first membership
meet & greet or by email at membership@reckclub.org
