This excellent group of gentlemen hails from all parts of the nation, with diverse backgrounds and campus involvement. We now that this solid group will become a fantastic addition to our fraternity's storied history.

Two weeks of fun!

After blogger messed around with our account information, I was finally able to sign back on and post!

The past two weeks have been chock full of great programming events, and ended with a fantastic Lock-In.

On August 6, 13 brothers took a trip to Montreal to see Radiohead play at Parc Saint-Drapeau. The concert was fantastic, and Tri-Kaps followed it with a night at a dance club on Rue Saint-Laurent. Although it was a short stay, it was well worth the drive and expense.

On the Intramural sports front, Tri-Kap lost in the playoffs of soccer to the poorly named "Soccer Team." This motley crue of unaffiliated students may have one, but we boast a stronger sense of brotherhood.

Tri-Kap also succumbed to a strong Heorot intramural softball team, who beat us 3-2 in the semifinals. Although we didn't win any summer sports, we had very solid teams in every match.

Our Lock-In was held at Nunnemacher Cabin this past Saturday night. Brothers trekked up the mile-long trail up the Skiway to a wooden haven nestled in the wilderness. Over a roaring fire, brothers discusses important house issues and managed to unwind as night set in. They enjoyed campfire hot dogs, smores, and whatever else they could carry up the hill. After some guitar-playing and campfire games, Tri-Kaps hit the hay in the quaint cabin. Luckily, there were mattresses.

An Exciting Week

What a week!

Today, Tri-Kap celebrated its third consecutive victory in intramural softball over SAE (11-5), which puts our team in the semifinals!

Zachary Gottlieb, Andrew Jean-Louis, Jude Chiy, Jon Adelson, Michael Brasher, Daniel Wiebicke, Adam Merber, Eric Larson, Teddy Sinsheimer, and Eric Padegimas made a great team!

At 6 PM, Fieldstock started off with a tug-of-war competition among teams. Tri-Kap's team, "We Are Warriors," made it to the semifinals.

Tonight, the brotherhood welcomed Shebalite, the school's most popular dance group, to perform in the living room. It was a huge success, and the living room has never looked more clean or more crowded.

A large group of brothers are leaving tomorrow for Montreal, where they'll be seeing Radiohead perform in Parc Saint John-Drapeau. It will be our summers most ambitious programming event, and the brothers are looking forward to a fantastic trip.

A Busy Week

The parents of '10 brothers were warmly welcomed at our family reception this Friday. Afterwards, some intrepid fathers got a chance to play some pong and embrace what some regard the most important sport at Dartmouth.

As you can see in this picture of Teddy's father, skill is clearly genetic. The same goes for the undefeated Gottlieb team (below).





In other brotherhood news, our softball team had an AMAZING doubleheader yesterday. In the first game, a last-licks rally took the game into extra innings against AXA, who succumbed to the superior offensive momentum of our team. 9-6 Trikap.

Here's our fantastic team:

Adam Merber
Teddy Sinsheimer
Connor Heinrich
Andrew Jean-Louis '09
Zachary Gottlieb
Michael Brasher
Jon Adelson
Eric Larson
Danny Wiebicke


The next game, against Psi Upsilon, was a battle of the first fraternities at Dartmouth College. And while Psi Upsilon technically was founded first, we thoroughly beat them 7-4.



Unfortunately, we're still looking for the pictures of the actual family reception. We hope this picture of our house six flags trip is a suitable alternative:

Yours in Kappa,

The Pillar and the Shield

July 22, 2008

This has been another great summer week for the Trikap '10s of 08x.

The brotherhood took a house trip to see "The Dark Knight" at the Hooksett IMAX, which was incredible. Although the theater was over an hour away, the aesthetic brilliance of Christopher Nolan's direction, and the powerful and dark portrayal of the Joker by Heath Ledger made it well worth the journey.

Unfortunately, rain canceled a house trip to the ledges. However, there is no doubt that it will be rescheduled.

This weekend promises to impress the parents of Kappa Kappa Kappa. A reception for parents will be held in our living room on Friday evening, and all brothers are encouraged to come with their families.

Unfortunately, the amazing talent of the Trikap intramural soccer team was quashed by the combined efforts of Chi Heorot's and Alpha Xi's motley crue of misfits. Our brothers played nobly --- however, their offensive efforts fell far short of their defensive ones. Two goals could not match the "Orange Iguanas'" five. We shall persevere, however, in coming matches with a renewed sense of enthusiasm

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.

Best of Luck Class of 2007

Tri-Kap Buried in Snowstorm

As you may have heard, New Hampshire was hit yesterday with a Nor'Easter that buried the state in a blanket of snow.

Hanover received about two feet of snow.
