We sent out the first of our three annual members-only publications this morning, the Fall Wrapup & Spring Preview. The issue includes:
- Our expert summary & analysis of the state of each organization as they ramp up towards raceday
- Interviews with representatives of each organization
- Previously unpublished pictures of each organization in action this fall
- Quantitative freeroll and mini-raceday stats to give the buggy bookies out there some numbers to work with.
If you thought you were already a “dues-paying-member” for 2010 and didn’t receive and e-mail this morning, let us know and we’ll sort out the paperwork. If you haven’t become a “dues-paying-member” yet this year, do it now and reap the benefits. We’ll send you today’s FW&SP right away, and you won’t have to worry about a thing when carnival approaches.
Remember, there are currently two ways to become a member, by donating $10 or by sending in 5 pictures from your time in buggy. That special deal won’t be offered much longer, so send in those pictures or you’ll have to pony up the Hamilton come April. Details and a full list of the member-benefits are always available at

Correction : Sigma Nu’s representative in the Q&A section was not Carl Nott. I’m not sure how he managed to get in there without being present while we wrote it. The Sigma Nu representative was their buggy chairman, Brett.
Note : The freeroll benchmarks only include times through mini-raceday. If a team’s best time of the semester was on the last weekend, they might be getting short changed in the rankings.
Carl says:
Correct. Pledges are not allowed to be chairmen. I do appreciate being able to pledge the Zoo as a 33yo married non-student with a 2yo daughter tho, and I think we’ll be competitive this year and have a good shot at winning this year or the next. I would like to thank the brothers in the house for teaching my daughter how to play ‘appo-juice ball’ as well; these sorts of valuable life-skills will come in handy when she’s older.
Aileen says:
I paid my dues, where’s my wrapup?
Sam Swift says:
Aileen makes a good point. If you become a dues paying member by contributing $10 online and would like to receive the members-only benefits you deserve, you should also send an e-mail to admin@cmubuggy.org. The alumni house processes the credit cards for us, but we only get an update of members and their e-mails on a montly-ish basis. So speak up like Aileen did if you haven’t gotten the goods.
Aileen says:
Yes! Be a thorn in Sam’s side!
