Notre Dame Leprechaun - Campus Figure

Campus Figure

The Leprechaun can be seen around campus on football game weekends as he acts as the MC of Friday night pep rallies, makes several appearances at tailgates before games, and leads the band as it marches to Notre Dame Stadium. During games, he shakes down the thunder by leading the traditional cheers of the student section, dancing his signature Irish Jig, and intimidating opposing mascots.

Along with the cheerleaders, The Leprechaun also acts as a foremost ambassador for the University of Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish travel across the nation. He engages in several community service initiatives, makes public appearances, and promotes good will wherever he travels.

The Leprechaun also leads the raucous student section at Fighting Irish varsity athletic events, which is aptly named "The Leprechaun Legion." This fiercely loyal contingency of diehards is known to inspire fear in the hearts of all opposing players, earning them consistent rankings as one of the top student cheering sections, especially in NCAA basketball.
