RAG

From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki

A RAG is group of TIPsters who live on the same hall. All members of a RAG are of the same sex. This group is governed by an RC. At Davidson, Duke West, Appalachian State University, Texas A&M, and the University of Kansas they are called RC Groups. RAGs attend meals together (the first two breakfasts and all dinners), and usually are the unit of grouping for campus-wide events like Casino Day, Treasure Hunt, etc.

Co-ed RAG's existed until 1997 for all except first year TIPsters. At one point, there weren't even co-ed floors because of parents' fears of inappropriate things happening.

There were ... co-ed halls, at least on East, through '97. Third and fourth years. I think there was a box to check on the form.
