Spirit Cup

Bronco Spirit Cup

The Bronco Cup competition is for all students, staff, and faculty at Western Michigan University. It is a competition to see who has the most Bronco Spirit! The competition is intended to bring together all members of Western Michigan University, whether that be Registered Student Organizations, Residence Halls, Departments, a mix of both, and every Bronco out there. 
 
The Bronco Spirit Cup is a competition among WMU students to see who earned the most points at the end of the Homecoming week. The winners of the RSO categories will receive $350 toward their RSO. The winner of the group-of-friends category will receive $300 to WMU Bookstore. Points will be awarded based on the 2017 Bronco Spirit Cup point system which you can find below. Events will be carefully monitored and points will be calculated by the Homecoming Interns.
