Join HuskieFurs!

HuskieFurs follows the core values of the furry fandom: inclusivity, creative self-expression, and fostering long-lasting connections. From expressing yourself through art to co-hosting large intercollegiate meets throughout Illinois, HuskieFurs has plenty of opportunities to get involved with the furry fandom.

For those unfamiliar with the furry fandom, we understand that there are many misconceptions surrounding our community. We want to make it clear that these misconceptions do not represent the values of HuskieFurs and the furry fandom. HuskieFurs also serves as an point of reference for answering any clarifying question or concern regarding the furry community. In addition, we are always open to answering any questions via our Discord server or our club email: niufurrys@gmail.com. 

Still on the fence? Check out our monthly newsletter, featured on this website, where we detail each meeting as well as showcase our club talent and vibrant community. We always welcome anyone to sit in on any of our meetings, whether in-person or virtual, if you just wanted to learn what the community is all about.

IMPORTANT: While we allow prospective students and alumni to join our Discord community, you must be a current NIU student, graduate student, or faculty member to attend meetings.
