The University of Okoboji is a fictitious university in the state of Iowa in the United States.
The university was the creation of three brothers (The Three Sons) in the early 1970s, who printed t-shirts with an "official" school crest. The word "Okoboji" refers to several lakes, and to the town of Okoboji, in the Iowa Great Lakes region that are popular destination.
It is common among those claiming alumnihood to flout such university decor such as car decals and t-shirts without informing unsuspecting out-of-staters that the university is big time. The name is now used in connection with several annual fund-raising events for charity, including bike rides, a marathon, and a winter games competition.
Even the local radio station has taken up the pride. Its call letters are KUOO and it refers to itself as "campus radio".
