Great house additions!

Thanks to prudent decision making by brothers Andrew Jean-Louis '09, Valentino Wong '10, Justin Tzou ;10 and Christopher Takeuchi '09, we finally have a propane grill for our brothers' use.

This grill is phenomenal; it responds beautifully, cooks evenly and makes house cookouts a breeze. While coal imparts a more smoky and natural flavor to grilled meats, our two smokers tended to be unreliable (and brothers often forget to purchase the necessary coal).

Our wonderful new grill has already been used at inter-house BBQ's with Gamma Delta Chi and Chi Gamma fraternities.



We can thank Mark Heller '10, Christopher Takeuchi '09 and your humble blogger (Zachary Gottlieb '10) for taking the initiative to purchase letters for the front of our house. They look beautiful, and identify us as the first (and most revered) fraternity on Webster Avenue.




Also, the '10 class has made an incredible effort to reorganize and clean the attic. Although we lack pristine photos of this Herculean achievement, it is truly a most impressive feat. Brothers have found myriad items of house history (including old stationery, musical instruments, tons of textbooks and black books), and plan to reap the benefits of this bevy of inherited booty.

Blog Revival

Looks like it's time to revive the little blog that could.One week ago, the brotherhood took a fantastic trip to the copper mines, where several intrepid brothers took mighty leaps.


Enjoy the wonderful pictures, and expect weekly updates!

Spring 2007: New Additions, Easter Egg Hunts, Formals, & Goodbyes

Latest Addition to Brotherhood

After bidding adieu to beloved house dog Chase, the brotherhood welcomed a new member in the form of 4 week old Hobart P. Nash (named after the Society's three founders) in the Spring of 2007.

Eggs, Eggs, & More Eggs

Programming Chairs Ian Tapu & Tim Leung worked in conjunction with Philanthropy Chair Sam Kennedy to outshine all fellow organizations this Easter. The dynamic trio spent weeks planning an Easter Egg Hunt for the entire Upper Valley Community. Collis Commonground was flooded by children, surrounded by hidden eggs, giant basketballs, arts & crafts, cotton candy, and a capella groups. To this day, members of the Dartmouth Community still referenc e this magical event.

Encore, Encore: DREAM BBQ

As if the Easter Egg Hunt had not been a big enough success, shortly thereafter, the Tri-Kap brothers through a follow-up event: the Annual DREAM BBQ. Along with bouncy castles, grilled meat, and DREAM t-shirts, the brothers stepped forward to provide live entertainment and music.

A Formal Affair

One tradition that was not foregone was that of the brotherhood formal. As the term wound down, the brothers of Kappa Kappa Kappa donned their suit jackets and ties, escorted their dates, and basked in the sunset of Lake Morey.

Final Meetings, Final Goodbyes

Spring term means one thing: the sun has set for another great Tri-Kap class. With them, the 07s take their wisdom, their leadership, and their dedication. However, they have left a lasting impression of what it means to be a brother.

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...
