Once a Billiken

S.L.O.B.S.

Saint Louis Old Boys

"Once you've bled on the pitch together, you're bonded for life. The jersey changes. The brotherhood doesn't."

— The S.L.O.B.S. Creed

What is S.L.O.B.S.?

Saint Louis Old Boys — the alumni network of the SLU Rugby Football Club. Every man who has ever worn the blue and white is a member. No dues. No application. No vote. You played, you're in.

S.L.O.B.S. exists to keep the bond alive — connecting former players across decades, facilitating reunions, supporting the current squad, and ensuring that the stories, traditions, and values of SLU Rugby endure long after the last match is played.

From the founding members of the 1950s to last season's seniors, the S.L.O.B.S. network spans generations. Doctors, lawyers, bartenders, investment bankers, altar boys turned political revolutionaries — all united by the memory of Saturday mornings at the Jewel Box and the understanding that rugby is not just a sport. It's a way of life.

Support the Squad

Mentorship, funding, equipment, and wisdom. The current players need the old boys more than they know. And the old boys need the connection more than they admit.
