The Tree

What does The Tree do?

The Tree is the unofficial mascot of Stanford University, and performs at athletic events and rallies with the Band.

How do I become the Tree?

The New Tree manifests itself during Tree Week, which is usually at the end of February each year. Criteria for selection include completion of a written application, an interview with the band management, a minimum height of nine feet, and an attitude that embodies the Stanford spirit. If you do illegal things, you can't be Tree.

For more information, email Manager Adam Cohen or The Tree.
