SICSIC is an anonymous secret society and pep squad for Bowling Green State University.
History
SICSIC was formed on October 5, 1946 by then University President Frank J. Prout as a secret, anonymous booster organization to promote more campus spirit. President Prout selected the first six members from The Key, Bowling Green’s annual yearbook, and invited them to meet him in his office at 12:45am and told the students to not tell anyone where they were going. The six undergraduates met with the President in his office and agreed to join the secret society which they called SICSIC. Currently, SICSIC is composed of six undergraduates (two sophomores, two juniors, and two seniors). New members are chosen during the end of their freshman year in order to replace that year’s graduating seniors.
Traditions
The SICSIC members adorn Halloween masks, jumpsuits and gloves. As of the 2009-2010 school year, the masks are of Queen Elizabeth, Michael Jackson, Abe Lincoln, Darth Vader, Carlos Santana, and Regis Philbin. SICSIC members travel around the field and stands during athletic events distributing candy and taking pictures with fans. SICSIC members are always masked and their identities are not revealed until the last home basketball game of their senior year, where they are unmasked in front of the student body.
