Description

Bonfire is about the burning desire to beat the hell outta t.u. It builds leadership and camaraderie between students of any origin. Bonfire is about being a part of something bigger than yourself. Every log that goes on Bonfire is cut, moved, loaded, unloaded, and stacked by hand by students. The 2009 Student Bonfire had over 1500 participants. Before participating, everyone must attend a safety Cut Class. While at Bonfire, everyone must wear a pot (protective head-gear), leather boots (no tennis-shoes), and long pants. Alcohol is strictly prohibited at any Bonfire venue. Without a Bonfire for three years, in 2002, the students decided that they were not going to let the tradition die. Students brought it upon themselves to organize cut, stack, and burn, financially and logistically. An entire student generation (four class years) was about to pass, and with it, all of the existing institutional knowledge of how Bonfire is built. To make this tradition possible for future generations, this organization was created with numerous safety changes. The stack was three piles in the shape of varsity's horns sawed off.
