Interviews for members of the 2011-2012 War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen will be Monday, Feb. 21, through Friday, Feb. 25.

The group is chosen through a process consisting of two interviews, the first reducing the selection to 25 women and 25 men and the second resulting in callouts of 24 new members, 12 women and 12 men.

The steps in the interview process include turning in an application, signing up for an interview time, studying the information sheet, paying the interview fee and lastly, the first round of interviews.

Anyone interested should attend the information session held at 6 p.m. in Langdon Hall on Tuesday, Feb. 15.

All hopeful members must be in good standing at Auburn University and hold a maintained cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Candidates must be undergraduate students that have been enrolled at Auburn University for three semesters, not including summer term.

“As a War Eagle Girl I have been able to work with alumni which has been really cool to let them see what students are like at Auburn today compared to when they were a student here,” said Auburn student Lauren Ketron.

Ketron was a member of the War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen for the 2010-2011 year.

“I’ve been blessed to be a part of a great group this year, they are all great Auburn men and women who love the university," Ketron said. “Getting to experience our national championship season with them was amazing.”
