Brothers,
As our summer term comes to a close, I’d like to reflect on the unique experience our brotherhood had. Despite a virtual term and the unprecedented challenges posed by social distancing, I’m proud to say that we as a house have remained a close brotherhood. In Tri-Kap spirit, we did not let our current circumstances stop us from having a great summer experience full of camaraderie and recreation.
Our sophomore summer exec board has continued to meet weekly via zoom, always striving to find ways to keep our sophomore class close despite a virtual experience. Our programming chairs Daniel Ha '22 and Max Weintraub '22 have done a great job organizing different events during our Wednesday meetings, including fun activities like brotherhood family feud and kahoot tournaments. Our social chairs David Kantor '22 and David Yin have '22 also found fun ways to engage our brotherhood with activities like our July 4th virtual BBQ. Through our sophomores’ hard work and dedication to the house, we were able to make the best of our summer term and will come back to campus a closer class this fall.
Though we were off campus, brothers all across the US were still able to meet up. Our brothers in Atlanta met up several times and had a great experience visiting different parks like Jones Bridge Park.

In the north, several of our brothers decided to stay in a house in the beautiful town of Cavendish, Vermont where they continued the Tri-Kap traditions in full capacity. Whether it was hiking, golfing, swimming, or even ping pong, these brothers demonstrated they were true students of Dartmouth, embracing the outdoors. Even if their time in the house has come to an end, they have undoubtedly formed many fond and unforgettable memories of their time in Vermont.

With the onset of fall term, several of our brothers plan on coming back to campus. With a new term comes new challenges and situations. For one, our rush process has gone virtual, and our rush chairs will have to adapt to this new rush process which will take place over zoom, with a shakeout occurring next winter. For those of us living in the house, we will have to strive to ensure the health and safety of our fellow brothers as well as the rest of the Dartmouth community. However, I am proud to say that the brothers of Tri-Kap are up to the challenge and we will make the most of our fall term.
Yours in Kappa,
Aditya Choudhari ’22
