Student Chapter






We are a bunch of current students hoping to get an ear up on the rest of the rabbits by being in Staters.


Staters for State is the student chapter of the SDSU Alumni Association. We work to promote SDSU, encourage student leadership, and establish a connection between SDSU alumni and current students. We are comprised of students from all majors, class years, and backgrounds.

Our slogan is, "Once a Student, Forever an Alum" and we require all students to go through an extensive fingerprint test and interview with the rabbit - not really but we do appreciate your commitment!

Now comes the fun part! Staters for State plans and hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the academic year design to foster a relationship between SDSU students and to introduce alumni to current student leaders on campus.

We all know how busy college life is. We've been there! That's why Staters for State makes the most of your commitment by providing you with awesome opportunities that maximize your time and efforts. Your output outweighs your input, making Staters worth the time!

What we do...
Who knew playing in the mud could be so much fun? Oozeball, a mud volleyball tournament, has become a tradition on campus for over twenty years and is hosted by Staters. We are responsible for many of SDSU's premier and traditional events including:
  • Sizzling Summer Kickoff
  • Oozeball
  • Family of the Year
  • Alumni Tailgates
  • Jackrabbit Birthday Bash
  • Fall Convocation
  • Other Chapter Events
Don't we sound important!?
Besides hosting all kinds of events, we have monthly meetings to take care of business including the formations of committees to plan our events. All work and no play makes the jackrabbit a dull bunny; therefore, we like to have fun every now and then. So we make sure to have fun along the way.

Becoming a Stater...
