^Kyle and Shawn on The Bell
The DU Touchdown Bell
A tradition
of all MSU home football games since 1954 has been the ringing up of the
points on the Touchdown Bell. The men of Delta Upsilon bought the original
bell during the summer of 1954 and the bell made its debut at the Marquette
game which State won 40 to 10. The bell has only left the watch of the
brothers once, when members of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity at the University
of Michigan stole the bell and painted it maize and blue. The bell was
recovered and repainted and rung in its great Green and White. Today,
two brothers from the chapter man the bell with help from a Big/Little
Brother from Big Brothers of Lansing.
