Lunch Table Cult
This is the lunch table cult, a group of friends dedicated to the radical power of friendship, CTY, memes, and sitting at one specific lunch table.
History
In Saratoga 16.2, there was a group of friends who were very weird. The group began with BabyCTY friends Dorothy (Dot) Zhou and Daisy Fernandez, who were joined Dot's hallmate Lara Madison and Alexander (though usually called Sasha) Kucher, who had double-sessioned with Lara. They began sitting at the same lunch table, in the corner near Emily's Garden in the Skidmore Cafeteria. They were later joined by 'Joey' Huang, who was also a double-sessioner whose real name is still not known to the author. On the same day, they were also joined by Hudson Jakubowicz, who was in Sasha's class and met Dot and Daisy at an improv activity, and, last but not least, Rhys Bloom, whose shared a break time with Daisy, but otherwise was kind of a random person. He was confirmed as not being a demon by Daisy and Dot throwing salt at him, which confused but intrigued him. Throughout this session, they engaged in multiple varied discussions, whether about Hetalia, Doctor Who, and shipping.
To this day the members of the OG Lunch Table Cult still keep in touch through discord and Google Hangouts, although member Joey Huang has gone MIA, as he is from China and failed to give his fellow members his correct contact information. If anyone knows where he is, please tell us!
In Saratoga 17.2, members Dorothy, Daisy, Hudson, and Rhys returned; however, Sasha and Lara, a site hopper, went to Lancaster session 1, and Joey went MIA (Joey, where are you, child?). The cult was not as strong this year, but still had the additions of CTYers Jack, Ashley, Max, Alice, and Angie.
Unfortunately, this already small group of friends were split again in 2018, this time with Dot and Daisy attending Saratoga 18.1 and everyone else attending session 2.
However, due to the slightly manic efforts of Dot and Daisy, the cult spread to session 1, with roughly 16 people joining by the end of the session. The group bonded over fandoms, politics, annoying classmates, and other topics. Also created in session 1 was the title of cult leader, which was given to Dot on the last day. Along with the title, Daisy gave Dot a white, oversized labcoat that was used for the lip syncing competition that session, and is now a relic that will be passed down from leader to leader.
