Gallery: Fraternities, sororities saddle up for annual intramural rodeo

The university hosted its annual intramural rodeo competition Thursday evening in the Taylor Telecom Arena. Members of different fraternities and sororities participated in games including goat tying, barrel racing, steer riding and cattle chasing.
