Time to add to this thread. Here's a photo of the Tau Kappa Epsilon men at the University of Wisconsin, Madison from their 1966 Badger yearbook. All of the fraternities and sororities had great, creative portraits, but these guys take the cake. Shades of Animal House:

"Some houses have dogs for mascots, but the TKE's settled for nothing less than a minor god — the idol in the picture. Their tiki was prominent in many of their theme parties — the Hawaiian luau, the shipwreck party, and the Aku- Aku party. Homecoming with the Kappa Delta's had a 23 Skidoo theme, but the good luck god must have been used for Badger Song Fest since the TKE's teamed with the Kappa's for first place. Little did those stone figures on Easter Island realize the effect they could cause as far away as Madison."

:down: Another fraternity tiki - this one lived with the Pi Phi's at USC. This photo is from their 1961 El Rodeo yearbook:
