triangle.org. Triangle, n.d. web. 17 June, 2011.
The date that Triangle itself became an incorporated fraternity, and the day we celebrate each year as founders day is, April 15, 1907. While this may not seem like a big deal to anyone outside of Triangle, it means a lot to the people on the inside. Founder’s day is celebrated by getting dressed up and going out to a nice restaurant or winery, somewhere we can rent that holds a lot of people. When you’re there you get to sit and talk with some of the oldest and newest members of Louisville Triangle. We take this time to honor the Alumni who have done the most for our chapter over the past year, and honor the current active brothers who have showed excellence in one or several aspects of being a top notch brother or college student. This is also when you get to hear stories about what other Triangle chapters or alumni are doing. This is where I learned, I mean really understood, what it means to be in this organization of Triangle. Up until this point Triangle was just two things to me, help for school and fun time when work was done. The realization occurred after all the speeches were done, and the meal was finished. I watched as a few people starting pushing tables and chairs out of the way, the music starts up, and as I watch some of the most ridiculous spasmodic body movements, that I think we call dancing, it hit me. This will last my lifetime. I never really thought that Triangle would be able to help me after I got out of college, but after spending the night seeing and meeting several alumni, I began to think that I might never be without help and support ever again. And I think that’s what Triangle has really come to mean to me: a pillar of support in my life, now holding me up and helping me reach higher than I have in the past.
