About 375 men crossed over the TCU seal in Sadler Hall on Tuesday as a part of bid day for fraternities on campus.

Josh Schutts, Interfraternity Council adviser, said fraternities have crossed the TCU seal since Fraternity and Sorority Life started at TCU in 1955.

"It signifies that the fraternities are hopefully in line with the values of the institution," Schutts said. "By crossing the seal, they understand that while they are part of their fraternity and their organization, they're also a part of a larger institution, that is TCU."

Patterson said both teams will have to play hard, and the game will be good preparation for later games against the University of Oklahoma and Brigham Young University,

"They're going to line up and say, 'Here we come, can you stop it?'" Patterson said about teams like Stanford, BYU and OU.

Freshman premajor Alyssa Posey feared she wouldn't be able to go to her first choice school because she couldn't get a private loan.

"I applied (and got denied) twice and got a loan the third time," Posey said.

Despite national credit crisis reports, most TCU students applying for private loans have ultimately managed to secure the money needed to pay for school, said Mike Scott, director of scholarships and financial aid.

Free food, drinks and face painting attracted crowds of students to the Frog Frenzy tailgate party at the Campus Commons on Saturday despite suggestions that the new tailgate policy would lower attendance at the party.

With radio favorites playing in the background, students mingled with friends and grabbed a quick bite at the party before making their way to the football stadium.

A couple of students who began line dancing soon turned into a group of about 30 in their purple Class of 2012 T-shirts.
