Ubi Concordia, ibi Victoria

Volunteer Rugby Maxim
Family, School, Rugby...

A club member must always keep their priorities in the proper order and lead a disciplined lifestyle that assures a compliance to the Volunteer Rugby Maxim: Family, School, Rugby - in that order. If a club member isn't taking care of the first two, they have no business being involved with the third. Rugby at Tennessee should enhance the collegiate experience; not be a detriment to it.
