New Pledges

Winter term fraternity Rush took place on Saturday, January 13, 2007. While fall term generally contributes the overwhelming majority of new members, winter term generally adds a few new men to the mix. Winter Rush in 2007 was no different: we are proud to report that we have four new pledges.

They are:

-Alan Kwan '09, hailing from Los Angeles
-Jamie Lee '09, hailing from Connecticut & England
-Tim Chen '09, hailing from New York City
-Adam Mair '09, hailing from Guam


The "new member educators", as the College insists we call them, will be Vorapat "Bobby" Praneeprachachon '07 and Dave Lindenbaum '08 (see picture).

Iraqi Kids Project II

As posted previously, the Brothers of Tri-Kap collected over 35 huge boxes of clothes and toys to send to children in Iraq. We just received pictures of the children receiving the packages with the assistance of U.S. soldiers in Iraq.



A special appreciation goes to Fayez Kabir '08, our Philanthropy Chair, who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in his position. Thanks Fayez!!

End of Fall Term

With Finals beginning this weekend, Dartmouth's fall term comes to a close. And it's been one hell of a term for the house at 1 Webster Avenue. Even Joe Kutney '07 showed surprise at how quickly it all went by...

A Dartmouth Homecoming

This past weekend was Dartmouth's Homecoming Weekend.On Friday night we threw a sick party- the house was packed from wall-to-wall, and the line to get in went all the way out to the street. Our in-house DJ's, Bibhu Mainali '07 and A.J. "Bootz" Chammas '07, kicked it with a guest appearance by the legendary Alex Taylor '04. With a handful of houses on probation, it was up to Tri-Kap to hold it down for frat row on Friday, and hold it down we did.

On Saturday, after a massive house cleanup in the aftermath of the party, we hosted an Alumni Open House Reception from 3-6 PM. Brothers grilled, alumni came by, and the youngest Tri-Kaps had an opportunity to meet with Tri-Kaps of earlier years and their families.

Those in attendance included (not a complete list):

Greg Dingus '89
Alex Taylor '04
Rajiv Dhar '06
Chris Vale '06
Riad Khan '05

Iraqi Kids Project

Summer Philanthropy chair, Brother Tanvir Kabir, organized an extremely successful drive to send clothes to children in Iraq. Tri-Kap brothers spent several weeks collecting and packaging what seemed like mountains of clothes.

Chariot races!

House man Alex Spinoso (lower right above) led the building of the Tri-Kap chariot. Dartmouth organized chariot racing for the first time in 20 years after Hanover and the state of New Hampshire passed legislation to ban tubestock
The team designed and raced the trikap chariot. The metal rod used to pull the chariot snapped after about 10 feet which meant that Psi U fraternity eliminated us from the first heat.

Summer Lockin

The '08 class held a lockin at the Dartmouth ski hill. Almost all of the brothers that are on campus attended and just about everyone had a great time (exceptions included the New York brothers that are self-proclaimed "not-outdoorsy kinds of people.")
