Queen of the Queers
From the archives of TiPWiki, the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki
History
The Queen of Queers is a Duke East Term 2 tradition that embodies the spirit of TiP. It is passed down every year after the Talent Show to an LGBTQ+ Tipster who is accepting and supportive. It is meant to represent unity and solidarity, as well as the fact that TiP is a safe place for everyone. It is passed down in the form of a ring from the Queen of the previous year to the new one. It has been around since at least 2014, although it likely was around before that.
