leg

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'member?' is the definition.
(leg is a kind of member)

'collegiate' is the wordplay.
'LEG' is hidden within the letters.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leg that I've seen before include "part of course" , "Projecting support for chair or table" , "Stage (of race)" , "Gigot" , "Run < on" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
