The purpose of the Los Lecheros Dairy Club is to support the dairy industry through academic and social activities within the dairy science department at California Polytechnic State University.
The dairy club is open to all majors, but primarily agriculture students.
The first meeting held is the second week of fall quarter.
Everyone is invited to the dairy for a tri-tip BBQ, and members
sign up. Prospective members are notified of the sign-up
meeting with signs and banners posted in the Agriculture Building.
Dairy Science classes are given a brief speech by the club
officers about the club during the first week of fall quarter
inviting them to join and giving them a formal welcome. Members are
also recruited at the Fremont Hall Club Fair and students living in
the dorms are invited to come check out the club. The
dairy club prides itself in its members, members tell friends
and much of the membership happens by word of mouth. The Lecheros Dairy Club
is diverse filled with members whose parents
were members of dairy club many years ago, non-ag majors who
enjoy the company of dairy club, and a variety of upper and
lower class membership.
Members of dairy club are highly active and involved in activities campus
wide as well as members of our 
Dairy Club members are very hard working, active, and loyal to their club.
If there is an outstanding club member or members who have
worked very hard on a committee or event, they are recognized and presented
with a small gift at a regular meeting. Aside from being recognized at
a regular club meeting a special awards are presented at the Dairy Science
Spring Banquet, to be held this year on May 15th. The first award is presented
to two dairy club members who have exemplified the qualities
of hard work, dedication, and loyalty to the dairy club. These club members
have gone above and beyond the call of duty. This prestigious award is
called the Milk Bottle Award. The students are presented with a milk bottle
and $250.00 each. They are selected by the club advisors and dairy science
faculty. It is an honor to receive this award and one of the dairy clubs
long living traditions.
