Blue and Orange It’s impossible to walk around the Pepperdine campus without running into athletes bedecked in blue and orange. And their spirit? It resonates in all they do. Just look at the number of student-athletes and coaches who have rushed the court after winning national championships, been inducted into halls of fame, and medaled at the Olympics. It’s not just those on the court that bleed blue and orange. Painted bodies chanting “AYO Waves!” at the top of their lungs and students spreading school spirit get the crowd going. No sport—not Pepperdine’s men’s basketball, women’s golf, or even beach volleyball—is safe from the raucous and most fervent of supporters, the Riptide Rally Crew, who are ready to welcome each new class into this rich and historic tradition. Try as you may, you will never beat Pepperdine mascot Willie the Wave in a game of school spirit!
