“The Albino Squirrel Preservation Society (ASPS) is an international collegiate organization dedicated to “fostering compassion and goodwill” toward albino squirrels. The ASPS has approximately 700 members in eight chapters across the United States, Canada and England.”
“Founded in April 2001 by Gary Chang and Dustin Ballard at the University of Texas at Austin, the first ASPS chapter was created to celebrate a longstanding legend on campus, which states that seeing an albino squirrel before a test is good luck (although none of the white squirrels on campus were technically albino). In less than a year, the UT Austin chapter became one of the largest official student organizations in the University’s history.”
