There is a wolf pack of students roaming around campus, sporting wolf shirts every Wednesday. Started by sophomore Sam Taylor at the beginning of the spring semester, the trend is called Wolf Shirt Wednesday, and the pack has continued to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Ava Boyle said Taylor was the reason she started wearing a wolf shirt every Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne time, Sam was wearing a wolf shirt, so me and one of my friends, Amberlee Ellis, went to Walmart and found wolf shirts, and Sam lost her mind,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cI was like, \u2018Why not. Let\u2019s add some spice to Harding\u2019s campus.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boyle said because the group is growing, she hopes to keep participating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve all grown closer together, but I mean, it\u2019s only the beginning,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cSo it should grow some more, and we can meet more people through it. I participated three or four times, so kinda since the beginning of this semester, and I plan to continue it on Wednesdays. I plan to keep it going. I\u2019m also just a freshman, so I can keep it going for the next four years even and keep it growing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boyle said others ask about the wolf shirts every time they wear them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe just see it, and it sparks something between all of us,\u201d Boyle said. \u201cI would say it has a big sense of community and growing together, and hopefully, it will get bigger as the weeks and months go by.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Amberlee Ellis said she has connected with some people by participating. She said knowing that Taylor was the person who started it makes it better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s so awesome, so just like joining her and the fun piece of it,\u201d Ellis said. \u201cI feel like a lot of people will be like, \u2018Oh! Wolf shirt,\u2019 or they\u2019re like, \u2018Hey, this is awesome,\u2019 so I feel like I have met some people [and had] a conversation with them about it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ellis said the wolf shirts are a great conversation starter with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would say it does have a sense of community,\u201d Ellis said. \u201cAnd honestly, around campus, there are people who have asked about it, and I feel like we have a sense of friendship in a way just because it\u2019s like a conversation starter. But then the people I\u2019m doing it with are some of my closest friends. Go to Walmart and get a wolf shirt.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Kate Burton said she participated in Wolf Shirt Wednesday in her youth group back home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI already had the wolf shirt, and I kinda miss it too from back home, so it was a nice little something when Sam started to do it,\u201d Burton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Burton said the trend gets noticed on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf there\u2019s like a group of us, people will come up and be like \u2018Wolf shirts? Interesting, why are you wearing this?\u2019 We say \u2018Wolf Shirt Wednesday,\u2019\u201d Burton said. \u201cPeople do ask about it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
