TIP Cults

TIP Cults are phenomenon that go back to the beginning of TIP. The original TIP Cult is unknown, but there have been many other notable cults in TIP history. Many were created without the knowledge of previous cults, which really speaks to the, ermmm... "uniqueness(?)" of TIPsters.

History

The history of TIP cults cannot be accurately traced, as most TIP Cults were formed independently of the knowledge of other cults. However, there have been a few major cults, but a true history of TIP Cults is not possible. Regardless, here are some of the more interesting events in TIP cult history.

Cult Feuds

One of the hallmarks of cults are feuds with other cults or classes. There have been numerous examples,

MLS vs. MMS

MLS, or Modern Law Squad (alternatively known as the Radicus Cult) was the original TIP cult at Davidson 2016 Term 1. (Note: no one at Davidson was familiar with the concept with a TIP cult at the time, so all Davidson 2016 Term 2 cults were completely unique. Except MMS) After the debates with the Modern Law class and the Modern Med class, the Modern Med kids decided to rip off the MLS cult, so they decided to form the Modern Med Squad (MMS). The MMS tried to be as cool as the MLS, but they weren't. All TIPsters agree that MLS won the TIP Cult Feud.

Modern Med

The Modern Medicine class of Davidson 2016 Term 2, after interactions between Modern Law and Modern Med, decided to try and create a TIP cult. However, the consensus of TIP Cult Experts (the MLS) is that they failed. The Modern Med Squad (MMS) (yes, that's how badly they wanted to be like the MLS) is viewed as a MLS wanna-be.

If you know of others and their details, add them. You don't need more than one detail to add the cult, even if it is only a name of a member or the cult name. If you know the name of a member but not the cult name (or if the cult was unnamed, simply put "Cult@(Campus)T(Term#)" in the name slot, and unknown for all other columns.
