Until 1999, [[TKE]] would host an annual party called "[[Old TKE#Orgy (Hedonism)|Hedonism]]". [[Old TKE#Orgy (Hedonism)|Hedonism]] was an orgy, in a very classical sense of that word: debauchery, sex, gluttony, mania, general running amok. After the 1999 Hedonism party, [[TKE]] was suspended by the administration, and its members kicked out of the [[TKE]] House. | Until 1999, [[TKE]] would host an annual party called "[[Old TKE#Orgy (Hedonism)|Hedonism]]".

During the subsequent academic year, four [[TKE]]s moved to the Corner House, as it was a cheap and proximal alternative to actual campus living, while still providing many of the same freedoms that the [[Old TKE]] House did, and became, for some, the hub that the [[Old TKE]] House once was. |
From 1999 through 2002, tenancy of the house was passed down among [[TKE]]s. | From 1999 through 2002, tenancy of the house was passed down among [[TKE]]s. | ||
