Our Mission
The mission of the Society of Loyola Old Boys (SLOB), Inc. is to provide former members of the Loyola University Maryland Rugby Football Club (founded in 1976) with an organized forum for promoting the development and success of the Club and its undergraduate members. To that end, SLOB, Inc. advocates on behalf of the Club to all interested constituencies, raises funds for scholarship and helps sustain programming – such as youth leagues – that has a high probability of benefiting the Club over the long-term.
