Rainbow Union (RU)

Rainbow Union is Drake University’s LGBTQIA+ undergraduate student organization, open to all LGBTQ+ students and allies.

The drag show is held as a charity fundraiser, and in the past Rainbow Union has raised money for One Iowa and Iowa Safe Schools. Rainbow Union invites ALL students to join and participate in our weekly meetings and makes no assumptions about a person’s sexuality in our safe space.
