The ALANA Cultural Center, Delta Delta Delta, Brothers, Colgate International Community, Theta Chi, and the Class of 1934 House joined forces to put on the tailgate before the Oct. 23 football game against Holy Cross, according to Alex Restrepo ’12, one of the main organizers.

Those sampling the great food, prepared by students and staff members, were asked for donations, with all the proceeds going to Camp Good Days and Special Times.

“We believe this really was an extraordinary event because it got a very wide and diverse group of people to come together over some food and generate some school spirit before the big Holy Cross game,” said Restrepo.
