== 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.
