The Hunt

Bring Home the Golden Eagle Trophy

Join The Hunt to win the Golden Eagle trophy for your community!

Throughout the year, Concordia students participate in a series of spirit days, events, and activities to earn points for their team. At the end of the year, you’ll get to compete in The Hunter Games to gain the ultimate prize of the Golden Eagle trophy!

Here’s How It Works

Your Teammates Are Your Neighbors

Students are divided into four teams based on where they live: Rho, Sigma, Quads, and Commuters. Team up with your neighbors and bring out your school pride to get your team’s flag flying high and proud on campus!

Gain points by winning large events

You can gain points for winning Field Day, participating in Midnight Madness, finding the egg, winning Gotcha, or being crowned Mr. CUI! There are points up for grabs at every large event The Hunt puts on! You can also win points for your team by winning a half time game at an athletic game!

Find the Golden Egg

During the first week of school, a golden egg is hidden on campus. Find the egg to earn points for your team and then hide it somewhere new for another team to find!

Free Swag

Every student gets a Hunt shirt at the beginning of the year to wear to events and athletic home games. Free shirts are given out at new student move in and Field Day! We also do giveaways at athletic home games that include shirts, jackets, hats, rally towels and more!

Flight Club Student Section

In 2021 students voted to rename the CUI student section to Flight Club. The first rule of Flight Club is you always talk about Flight Club! Flight Club gets loud and rowdy at every CUI home game to support our Golden Eagles!

Lead The Hunt!

The Hunt hires two paid student leader positions every year who help lead The Hunt. These students are called the Hunt Coordinators!

You can also be involved in Flight Force which consists of a group of students who help plan all of the fun of the Hunt and lead the Flight Club student section!
