"We organized the first student trip to NYC as a board and we took 46 students by bus to the Big East Tournament. I got to spend four days with the best group of people I could imagine. From painting up and being front row at Madison Square Garden, to doing a service day with Father Graham, the weekend was amazing from start to finish. The X-treme Fans Board turned out to bring me some of my closest Xavier friends and some of my best Xavier memories. If you're a sports lover and enjoy working behind the scenes, X-treme Fans Board is the way to go."
