 Bones Gate ( " BG " ) was founded in 1901 as the Gamma Gamma Chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity . In 1960 the Gamma Gamma chapter dissociated from Delta Tau Delta when the national organization sought to officially bar minorities from membership . The new local fraternity at Dartmouth went unnamed until 1962 , when the brothers adopted the name " Bones Gate " after an English tavern well @-@ known to the members . Well known television director and BG alumnus Tucker Gates founded the Earl Anthony Appreciation Society in the basement tube room during the winter of 1982 , combining two of his favorite activities ; watching the Pro Bowlers Tour on TV and drinking Budweiser from a quart bottle . In the summer of 2005 , the Bones Gate residence underwent significant structural renovations to bring the building up to the college 's minimum standards . Improvements included an enclosed fire escape running from the basement to the third floor , a new bathroom on the ground floor , and the rehabilitation of all other bathrooms . The brothers of Bones Gate strive to live by their credo of welcoming friends to their house : " This Gate <unk> High and <unk> None . Refresh , Enjoy and Travel On . "
