Human students at UCCS will finally be allowed into the UCCS Bug Club, an organization that has long been reserved for insect life forms. 

Starting in April, any student at UCCS, exoskeleton or not, will be permitted to attend Bug Club meetings and events. This comes after the club voted to amend its Bugstitution. All those in favor voiced their “Aye” votes during a meeting on Friday. Those against … crickets.

Scribe reporting suggests that humans have been allowed in the past on special occasions. However, the name of the club raised questions from students belonging to the phylum chordata, like Troi Simth, an editor at the Scribe.

“It’s the bug club, so how on earth could there be people allowed in it? I for one cANT figure it out,” Simth, a two-legged resident of UCCS, said. Simth has never been to a bug club meeting.

The president of the Bug Club, worm and psychology major Sydney Quagmire, is excited about the change to let humans into the club.

“I’m not a worm, what on earth are you talking about?” Quagmire said, clarifying her earthworm heritage despite her outward humanoid appearance.

The new amendment comes with some added to-dos. They must now offer snacks for human members as opposed to the piles of rotting fruit that used to be served at events.

“Okay I think I see now. You think only bugs, like actual bugs, are allowed into the club. Thats not the case,” Quagmire said.

The club is also considering moving its meetings from the nice, loamy dirt by the West Lawn over to the drier, more human-friendly dirt that coats the floor of Columbine Hall.

“We focus on the sustainability of bug life and combatting arachnophobia. We are people. All of our members are people, none of us are bugs. We look at bugs and study bugs, but we aren’t bugs,” Quagmire said, clearly joking given the deadpan expression on her human-looking face.

The Bug Club hosts human trivia nights and movie nights featuring human movie classics such as “The Fly” and “The Bee Movie.”
