Squirrel Club? Yep and just about any other group a college student can think up

The University of Michigan Squirrel Club was born in a late-night discussion several years ago, and now includes several hundred members on the Ann Arbor campus.

It's among the whimsical, weird or just plain wacky clubs the Detroit Free Press describes in an article today.

U-M is not even the only campus with a squirrel club. There's one in Kalamazoo too at Western Michigan University.

And then there's the Herp Club for amphibian lovers at Michigan State, the Tree Musketeers at Northern Michigan and for those more into food than nature, the Dignified Educated United Crust Eaters Society at Western.
