What are the Responsibilities of the Pink Panthers?
A Pink Panther must be prepared to make a substantial commitment to the team. Being a Pink Panther requires a lot of time, dedication, cooperation and flexibility. Every practice and every performance is mandatory. Additionally, Pink Panthers are required to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA and full time EIU student status, attend all classes, and do well in their course work by obtaining a C or better grades.

The Pink Panthers practice every Monday through Friday afternoon during football and basketball season. Additional practices are scheduled as necessary. Cardio and muscle conditioning outside of practice is expected and logged. Nutrition is also monitored with a registered dietitian. Job schedules and social organizations must adjust to the Pink Panthers schedule.

In addition to performing at all home football and basketball games, Pink Panthers also perform at many other sporting, university, and/or community events. Community service and outreach are integral part of the team for financial support and awareness of the EIU Pink Panhter Dance Team program.
