A SRO crowd of nearly 500 people attended the program. The event was held in the chapel due to cold and wind, but concluded at the site of the sculpture where it was unveiled.
The bronze sculpture, made by artist Tad McKillop, is located between Taft Memorial and the Law Building.

No matter the weather, with or without an umbrella, everyone wants to watch an egg throw. They do?
Yes, when it’s part of Greek Olympics.
This is only a portion of the crowd, standing in the rain on Saturday, hoping their fraternity or sorority brothers or sisters are the best at tossing an egg.
Sorry, we don’t know who won. Our photographer decided to seek shelter and dry out before the event was over.
