The rivalry between Kappa Sigma Theta and Alpha Sigma Phi, the two sophomore societies, spilled over into print. Kappa Sigma Theta attacked our new society in The Yale Banger. In response, Alpha Sigma Phi began publishing The Yale Tomahawk in November 1847. The Yale Tomahawk was printed on a page twelve by eighteen inches and folded to form a four-page, 9-by-12 folio, costing six cents per copy.
The content of The Yale Tomahawk attacked Kappa Sigma Theta and The Yale Banger, but also included editorials, articles about Yale life, Fraternity announcements, poems and other essays.
The Tomahawk is the oldest college fraternity publication in the world. After it appeared in 1847, it continued until the University suspended it in 1852. Since its revival in April 1909, it has been continuously published.
We introduce you to The Tomahawk. This Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
