A black and white photograph of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity members posing with a Budweiser truck and displaying certificates. They may have won the "Great Race" hosted by the former "Showdown Saloon" bar located in downtown Commerce, TX. The competition was a race to be the first fraternity on campus to consume 300 pitchers of Budweiser beer. The first place winner would receive three kegs for their spring parties, while second place would receive one keg.
