Many club traditions focused on food, fun, service and Induction Week activities, which created memories and club customs. Knights held its annual Dragon Roast while Kappa Sigma Kappa hosted an annual Bayou Bash. "I look forward to Bayou Bash every year. There's really nothing better than shoving your face into a plate full of crawfish/' senior Matt Price, Kappa Sigma Kappa member, said. Gamma Sigma Phi started its own eating tradition with a clam bake minus the clams. "It is a laid back function where we just hang out at Camp Wyldewood like they did in the old days and have noisy gatherings with hamburgers and hotdogs," senior Sam Peters, Gamma Sigma Phi activities director, said. Girl's clubs didn't shy away from eating gatherings either. "The Gata girls love to go down to B rock and have a barbecue with Alpha Tau," sophomore Kara Jones, Gata member, said. Tri Kappa made its annual v isit to McDonald's the last night of Induction Week to celebrate the club's birthday. "We get together and have the inductees eat birthday cake without using their hands," senior Angela Rachels, Tri Kappa member, said. " It is so funny to watch them smear cake aU over their faces." Besides getting together with other clubs or getting messy, some women's clubs enjoyed just being with each other, which was the theme of the Shantih senior tea each spring. "All the girls get together to drink flavored iced tea, and all the graduating seniors give a speech." junior Brenna Wood, Shantih member, said . "There is always lots of crying." In addition, clubs set themselves apart through activities such as ring ceremonies and Induction Week activities. For example, Ju Go Ju's inductees wore large purple bows in their hair during Induction Week. The girls were not allowed to cut the ribbon, and the bow needed to stay on top of the girls' heads at aU times. Clubs used their traditions to set themselves apart and create lasting memories. - Justin Bronson
