Show those pearly whites!

Meet the most popular ladies on campus, the Notre Dame Pom Squad, a student run organization.

Madeline Malloy and Marissa Martinez are senior co-captains

“Our group message is constantly going off throughout the day. We can’t get enough of each other. We spend so much time together,” said Martinez.

“It definitely has its difficulties because we don’t have a coach, with that comes even more togetherness and strength,” said Malloy.

From the youngest fans to the most seasoned, there’s always a reason to smile.

“I love when young girls come up and we offer our poms,” said Martinez.

As a student run club, football season is key

“We sell t-shirts, poms, posters and accept donations as well. They really do help us. Poms are surprisingly not cheap,” said Martinez.

For these ladies, you can see the passion in the pictures.

Next time you see the pom squad, grab your camera and say cheese!

Even if the poms are not made of 24 carats, all that glitters is gold.
