Fringe

You have the power to energize Fringe today!

Fringe was founded in 1969 by a group of architecture students at Carnegie Mellon University. At the time, it was the first independent student organization to compete in the history of Spring Carnival at CMU. Since then, Fringe has evolved into an all-inclusive group of close friends who participate competitively in a variety of campus traditions and co-curricular activities. We are heavily involved in buggy, booth, intramural sports and social events along with a host of other on-campus activities. We are active all year round and have membership from across all colleges at CMU. Our leadership for booth and buggy work tirelessly during the school year to prepare for CMU’s annual Spring Carnival! Each year, Fringe uses lumber, paint, power tools, arts and crafts materials, nails and electrical equipment for the booth construction. To build a buggy, we purchase esoteric materials such as carbon fiber, epoxy and rohacell from local and international vendors. As one of the few organizations to build both a booth and a buggy each year, your donation would ease the process for this year and years to come as we complete these large projects while also completing demanding coursework at Carnegie Mellon University.

Giving CMU Day is your chance to illuminate the next bright idea in Fringe! 💡
