Beta, SGA bolster school spirit at tailgate
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a Beta Theta Pi–SGA tailgate held to build school spirit.

- The article says Beta members and the SGA worked with Bon Appetit to prepare hamburgers, beans, cookies and more than 250 pounds of pulled pork.
- The reporter writes that Beta’s Hank Strmac credited the tailgate with increasing game attendance, while student Tyler Barnum said he had not seen a football crowd that large in a long time.
- The paper reported that the SGA plans one more football tailgate this fall and two lacrosse tailgates in the spring; it also described the Freshman Experience seminar as a school-spirit initiative.
