When I was a sophomore at GU in 1972 I participated in an activity which was called (I think) the Intercollegiate Knights. My memory is very hazy except I think we had to buy matching outfits of slacks and sport coats and I think we went to the airport to greet incoming freshmen in the fall of '72.
Does the organization still exist? Was it limited to GU or part of a larger organization? Seemed a little bit like a fraternity except that there were wildly diverging interests, with some members very religious and conservative and others more interested in drinking and the opportunity to "assist" as many incoming freshman girls as possible.
I might have made this all up, except that recently in my mother's basement I discovered a wooden sword with paint and names and slogans on it, including "Once a Knight is Enough". Not my particular motto, but whatever.
