== History ==
Shortly after Keggy's introduction in 2003, a group of students stole the Keggy costume from its home in the [[Sigma Nu]] fraternity library and sent threatening notes to Keggy's creators
 (who belonged to Sig Nu), including photographs of the mascot bound and gagged with one black eye.<ref>{{cite news | last = Orbuch | first = Steve | title = Jacko receives threatening email | work = [[The Dartmouth]] | date = [[2003-12-05]] | url = http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=200312050101 | accessdate = 2006-12-28 }}</ref> Some thought this to be a publicity stunt by the creators, but the mascot had truly been stolen. Keggy was eventually returned with minor damage to the costume.<ref>{{cite news (contracted; show full)

Keggy disappeared at some point during the interim break between Summer and Fall 2008 and has not been seen or returned since. The Jack-O-Lantern, at the end of that Fall term, built a new Keggy costume in the basement of Sig
ma Nu fraternity (to which the orignal's creators belonged) and unveiled it during the 2009 Winter Carnival weekend, to the vigorous rejoicing of the student body.<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.dartmouthindependent.com/archives/2009/02/our-february-is.html | title = Keggy's Back! | work = The Dartmouth Independent | date = February 12, 2009 | accessdate = 2009-02-14 }}</ref>
