Topics: Carolina Fever

Carolina Fever, the largest student fan club at UNC, is devoted to showing Carolina pride. For each sporting event a member attends, he or she is awarded points. Then the members with the most points receive tickets to exclusive sporting events, including the coveted UNC-Duke home basketball game. Carolina Fever also hosts events, including the Old Well Watch, where UNC students keep an all-night watch on the Old Well on the eve of the UNC-N.C. State football game to prevent vandalism.

In April 2009, Carolina Fever became independent of the Carolina Athletic Association. Under the CAA, Carolina Fever was not its own organization, and funding was therefore harder to come by, leaders said. Massive population growth in the organization also motivated the split.
