The FELIONS were established in 2003 as a chapter of the Southeastern Louisiana University Alumni Association when football returned to the university after a hiatus of 17 years. The idea for this new group, a brainstorm of alumnus Pam Skibinski, was well received. Veda Abene won the naming contest and agreed to serve as the first president. After a successful first year, the group decided to do a fundraiser, and thus the highly successful Champagne Bingo was born. As of 2017, it became a chapter under the Lion Athletics Association in the Athletics Department.
Details about being a FELION:
Yearly membership dues are $30.00 and only members are eligible to attend meetings/luncheons. Reservations for luncheons are open to LADY FELION members only (sorry, no children allowed) for $33.00 per meeting before the announced deadline. Members who have paid for luncheons and cannot attend may transfer their reservation to another member as long as they do so 24 hours in advance. Please remember that meetings are open only to members, so if the individual is not a member, they must join before the reservation transfer. To purchase a Champagne Bingo table, you must be present at the Wednesday, November 19th luncheon.
