Another Carnival, another set of great performances by the Tau chapter. In addition to playing host to a slew of alumni young and old, including chapter founder and house legend Ron Comstock, the chapter yet again showed its strength both in Booth and on the Buggy course.
KDRailroads takes the silver. »
The chapter took home 2nd place in the fraternity Booth competition with KDRailoads, their 6th top-3 finish in seven years. The booth was masterminded by outgoing Senior Biology major Patrick Hagarman, who oversaw the house’s first try at a 3-sided structure. The inside portrayed a train station from the west (the Golden Spike is in Utah) complete with ticket booth, small model railroad, arrivals/departure sign, and an interactive history section. The game was a train simulator in the cab of the engine, as well as carnival-type drive the Golden Spike to test your strength game outside.
Not to be outdone, the Buggy team led by Senior Anthony Bruno finished in 5th place for both Womens A and Mens A, as well as winning the t-shirt design contest for the Free Ronell campaign. While the Womens A team co-sponsored with DG performed to expectation, Mens A exceeded most predictions with a 2:13.25 time in the finals, putting them #3 on the KDR All-Time list, behind the prelim and final times for the record-setting 2005 Mens A team.
In trophying in Greek Sing, Booth, and Buggy, the Tau Chapter is the only fraternity on campus to successfully complete the Spring Triple Crown. The last fraternity to achieve this feat was also us, in 2005 when we won seven trophies in the Spring semester, with wins in Green Sing and Booth alongside a 4th place Buggy.
