In the Gator Nation, Chicago is no Second City! The goal of the Windy City Gator Club® and the UF Alumni Association is to promote the University of Florida by celebrating UF Academic and Athletic achievements. The Windy City Gator Club® supports the Gator Nation through unique social and networking events, athletic viewing parties, and scholarships to send local students to UF. All of this programming is made possible by your membership dues and generous support!
