Illinois Iota – NIU
Submitted By: Jack Oakes ‘22
We are the 2025 NIU Tugs Champions! Tugs is a tradition here at NIU that started off as tug-of-war as you may know it. However, this strategic, strength and endurance-driven sport has developed into much more. Outfitted in a suit of duct tape, you hold the rope underneath your armpit against your back and tricep. You and six other team members (in individual six-inch deep 2-by-2 trenches) compete against all the fraternities on campus in a bracket-style tournament. Training involves workout programs, endurance training, and making all the right choices outside of practice. After three straight years of third place finishes, we were hungry to take home the championship trophy, and that we did!
