  • The Tryon Coterie, founded in 1947, was the oldest of Baylor University’s men’s social clubs. Try-C affiliated with Phi Delta Theta in 1977 it is now the Texas Lambda chapter of Phi Delta Theta. The chapter models itself as Phi Delta Theta - The Tryon Coterie. The Try-C’s started Sing!, Chili Cook-off, and off campus "illegal" dances among other things. The fraternity founded the Great Gloomy Gathering tradition of members wearing basic tuxedos, and dates wearing black gowns to a formal ball held in New Orleans at the Le Pavillon Hotel, and Houmas House Plantation, to "mourn" the start of finals. The fraternity also regularly hosts its "Spring Fling" at Horseshoe Bay, Texas Country Club. The current chapter of Phi Delta Theta - the Tryon Coterie is the only on campus chapter to have its own endowed scholarship fund for its own members. Not much is known about the traditions or secrets of the Tryon Coterie but they are supposedly still practiced within the current Baylor Chapter of Phi Delta Theta. The fraternity is also reported to have a large endowment trust fund, very strong alumni backing, and a secret hunting lodge for former and current member retreats.
