The other shake-up in the lineup comes on the heels of a card-playing fad. The inaugural Texas Hold’Em poker tournament will take place in response to a few student requests and the growing national recognition of the game.

IM basketball, which started Monday, promises to be exciting, with 57 teams participating. Setnor cited the Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon A-league rivalry as heated, but neither team has won the championship for more than five years.
“The most intense rivalry every year is between Sig Ep and SAE,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how good the teams are, that game is always intense. But the faculty team has won for the past five years.”
Senior Will Bratton, Sig Ep team captain, said the competition motivates him to play well.
“It is a rivalry that has been passed down through the years,” he said. “It is good because some of us are good friends and it is always a big game for all of us, we really play hard.”

Crossing the center line to floor hockey, Setnor expects Phi Gamma Delta and Sig Ep to continue their struggle for dominance in their league. Each team has one T-shirt win in the past three years.
Warm weather also signals the start of Ultimate Frisbee season, which Setnor said he is looking forward to.
What next? Beer Pong?
