WHAT IS ZOO CREW?
Zoo Crew is not only the name of Montana's student section, but it's an exclusive membership that is only available to current UM students. We want our loudest and proudest students to show their Griz pride by being part of this membership!
By becoming a member, you will have access to opportunities that aren't available to students not involved in Zoo Crew.
Memberships for the 2025-2026 year are available for purchase on July 1, 2025, and are good from the date of purchase through June 30, 2026.
