If you've spent more than five minutes on Grand Canyon University's campus, you know that the Havocs are a force to be reckoned with. In fact, SB Nation called them "the biggest party in college basketball" in January 2016! Seriously, why wouldn't you want to be a part of that? Here are the top 5 reasons why you should join the Havocs:

1. Havocs know how to party.

From the Purple Pre-Game Party to the mass of purple and black storming the court after the game, the Havocs bring the party with them everywhere they go.

2. They bleed purple.

Before every home men's basketball game, the Havocs can be seen crowding the quad as they paint their bodies and faces, deck out in gear for whatever spirit night comes their way, and generally get HYPED for the game. There is no one on campus that bleeds purple more than these dedicated fans.

3. They really get to know the other team.

The Havoc leaders know what's up when it comes to digging up dirt on the other team. Havocs can be sure to find several hundred printouts scattered throughout the seats that contain all sorts of information about the opposing team's players. Everything from home addresses to girlfriends, siblings, and parents can be found on these incredibly important documents -- and trust me, the Havocs find a way to make fun of the players no matter what.

4. They ROCK spirit nights.

Throughout the basketball season, The Havocs have a multitude of spirit nights. That might include America Night (featuring Thunder in Captain America attire), Night at the Hamptons, 80's Night, and the ever-popular Blackout. Even if you don't have much of your own costume (and yes, I do mean costume), have no fear-- the Havoc leaders are sure to have a few key items to ensure you're properly decked out.

5. They know how to do community.

Not only do the Havocs bring the thunder on game nights, but they also bring the thunder when it comes to serving the community. Throughout basketball season, the Havocs arrange several local outreach days where members have the opportunity to do things like visiting children's shelters, serving the homeless, and helping out at the annual Best Buddies Run.

So if you're a proud Grand Canyon Lope, DO NOT DELAY when signing up to be a Havoc. The experience is priceless, and even if you don't necessarily like basketball, being a part of the Havocs is something that makes it all worthwhile. So bring your purple, your spirit, and all the screams and cheers you can muster, and I'll see you in the stands -- LOPES UP!
