Every Thursday, men and women flock from all corners of campus for one of the most highly attended weekly events on camjDus: Dillon ' s Milkshake Mass. While Mass was in session, Resident Assistants take turns preparing milkshakes in Father Doyle ' s kitchen. Once Mass gets out, all of its attendees rush to Father Doyle ' s room for a twelve-ounce milkshake, free of charge. While every dorm has daily mass, few manage to achieve the attendance level that Dillon does. The fame of this Mass even made it onto the backs milkshake Mass of t-shirts listing Things to do before you graduate. However, Dillon ' s milkshake incentive program is not simply a way to push up attendance, it is a way of bringing the dorm together after Mass to reflect and relax with friends and food. Students from Notre Dame, Saint Mary ' s and Holy Cross all find time to make their way to Dillon for a study break, and those who originally came looking for a free milkshake left with an unforgettable experience that keeps them coming back every week, story written and edited by Laura Seago Matt Larew prepares milkshakes for after Mass. photo hv Ljura Seago JJ Rees takes a tray of shakes to serve after milkshake Mass. photo by Laura Seago Crackhead surfs through the crowd at the Dillon Pep Rally. photo by Anya Henhberger 20 the gold slandard

continuing the big red legacy dillon hall the 2007 school year was one to remember for the men of Dillon Hall. The hall ' s many traditions continued with success, contributing to Dillon ' s history of spirit and sePv ice. During the spring semester, the men of Dillon spent a full month growing out their facial hair in preparation for the annual ' Stache Bash, which raised thousands of dollars for testicular cancer research. Dillon residents also showcased their talents at the Dillon Dude Auction where they sold themselves as dates for the Opening Day Dance in the name of charity and fun. The Fall Semester was kicked off by the Dillon Pep Rally the Thursday before the first game. Senior tight end John Carlson and head coach Charlie Weis made appearances as speakers and Fr. Doyle entertained everyone by crowd-surfing with the freshmen. Like every year, Dillon furthered its reputation as the toughest, smartest, and humblest dorm on campus. story by Michael Schaefer Taylor Montgomery yells to a crowd of Dillon men at a pep rally, photo by David Prina A resident cheers wildly for Dillon at the Georgia Tech pep rally, photo by David Prina I; III (hordes is lifted into a sea ( ' (v 1 1 at the Georgia Tech pep ' yhoto bv David Prina Dillonites perform a skit at the 2007 Dillon Pep Rally. photo by Anya Henhberger Brad LeNoir poses as Father Doyle in a skit at Dillon ' s Pep Rally, photo by Anya Henhberger dillon 21
