As another year comes to an end at Thumpty, we reflect on the truly amazing semester our Brotherhood just experienced. The last four months brought moments of great pride for the Beta Charge, especially the graduation of 25 seniors and the initiation of another promising pledge class. Congratulations to those Brothers and good luck to the graduates in all of their future endeavors, Spectemur Agendo.
Thumpty’s tradition of hosting musical acts continued throughout the spring semester, including a momentous, first time collaboration with Cornell University. In April, the University’s Rare Manuscript Division of the Library brought hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa to campus for a symposium on the origins of the genre.
The University, at the suggestion of Brothers Jonah Brill, Walter Donner, Tim Lehey, and Ben Weiss, chose the Grand Hall of the Thumpty Mansion as the venue for Bambaataa’s performance. Photos from that memorable night can be viewed on Thumpty Music’s facebook page.
