From the Archives: Rope Bridges and Tall Structures Highlight 1978 Island Party

Thank you to Duke Claussen (GA #1436) for sharing his best Sigma Nu memory, of the annual Island Party. He writes, “Back then, during my senior year in 1978, we built a two-story structure over the pool with a rope bridge that spanned the length of the pool. Building the structure was a huge part of the fun. The party was one of the highlights of my time at GT. We reminisced about the fact that no one worried about any injuries and thankfully no one got hurt. In addition, it was one of the best times I can remember as my pledge class was attending our last big party together.”

Duke goes on to add, “I consider my Sigma Nu brothers as lifelong friends. Being a member of Sigma Nu taught me the importance of building true friendships. I have known many of these guys for over 40 years. Although we may not see each other often enough, when we do, all the memories and closeness come rushing back.”
