On October 5, 2005 the Indiana Daily Student News reported, "One group on [Indiana University's] campus is gathering all types of different people under a tent of paganism -- and that's what they want... Current statistics from the Pluralism Project indicate there are anywhere between 200,000 and 1 million pagans in the United States alone... Earth Religions is the official pagan student organization at IU. Their goal is to be a source of pagan awareness for students, as well as a welcome place of discussion for followers of any and all religious beliefs... The group was founded in 1996, but it was in the spring of 2000 that the club formally elected a group of officers, found a faculty sponsor and saw attendance grow. Since then, the IU Pagans have held rituals, observed holidays and conducted workshops on the making of crafts, tools and ritual clothing."
