Red Alert

What is Red Alert?

Red Alert is one of the largest student organizations on campus and is aimed at increasing pride, spirit, tradition, excitement, and energy at all Illinois State athletic events. Red Alert is what gives the Redbirds a home court or home field advantage! The group also participates in many community service and social activities both on and off campus throughout the school year.
