Women's Athletic Association

The purpose of the Women’s Athletic Association (WAA) is to “encourage close relationships between the women athletes of the University of Chicago in order that they may work together as a body to promote women’s athletics.”

Membership in the WAA is open to those women currently enrolled at the University of Chicago who have earned a Major “C” or Minor “C” or who are presently participating in a varsity sport.

The officers of the WAA consist of a President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Special Events Chair, Secretary and Publicity Chairwoman. This Executive Board is elected each spring for the following academic year by team representatives and members of the current Executive Board.

The General Board of WAA consists of the Executive Board, a faculty advisor (Rosalie Resch), and two representatives from each varsity sport. The General Board meets regularly each quarter.

In addition to the General Board, all WAA members are encouraged to attend meetings.
