CSPD, CARPOOL prep roads for Chilifest
By Kylee Reid
In preparation for the influx of
alcohol consumption at Chilifest.
2015, CARPOOL and the College
Station Police Department are work
ing to keep Bryan-College Station
roadways safe.
CARPOOL, a nonprofit student-
run organization that offers free rides to
people in Bryan-College Station, will
offer free rides home from the Chilifest
shuttle station at Post Oak Mall.
“We will not be taking calls during
the day Saturday,” said Mary Mon
day, CARPOOL public relations of
ficer. “However we will have a circuit
where when people get off the buses
from Chilifest, they can come over to
our station and get a ride.”
CARPOOL rides will be offered
from 4:30-10:30 p.m. Saturday. The
free shuttle service from the mall to
the festival will run 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Saturday.
“Chilifest is such a big event and
there is a lot of alcohol involved and
we want to keep the roads safe by giv
ing people rides home,” Monday said.
“We just want to make sure the com
munity is a safer place for everyone in
the B-CS community.”
Last year CARPOOL gave over
1,000 rides to people in the Bryan-
College Station community during
Chilifest. This year, Monday said they
hope to break that record. Likewise,.
Monday said CARPOOL could break
the 240,000 mark for rides given since
its creation.

CARPOOL will offer rides from
Chilifest.
when
4:30 - 10:30 p.m. Saturday only
“Chilifest is one of our biggest
weekends of the entire year,” Monday
said. “We are really excited to see how
many rides we can give and how many
lives we can save this weekend.”
Monday said all CARPOOL rides
are nonjudgemental.
Monday said normal CARPOOL
operations will continue after the Chil
ifest shuttles stop running.
CSPD Lt. Chuck Fleeger said CSPD
and other law enforcement agencies
keep a closer eye on roadways sur
rounding the festival with a volunteer
task force designed to ensure the Bry
an-College Station roadways are safe
from intoxicated drivers.
“With the task force — the enforce
ment end — we are hoping that it is
the last resort,” Fleeger said. “A suc
cessful operation would be no DWI
arrests because that means that more
people made the right decision to not
get behind the wheel when they are
drunk. ”
Unlike other arrests, Fleeger said a
DWI arrest is 100 percent preventable
by planning ahead. Fleeger said the de
partment hopes students will be cau
tious of the dangers of drunk driving.
“We want people to go out and
have fun — as long as that person is
the legal age to drink — that’s first,”
Fleeger said.

builds,” said Zach Douma, vice president of operations for
Chilifest and junior finance major. “There is actually a build
competition that is decided on Saturday by the Chilifest
judges to determine who had the best looking build.”
This year, there are 12,558 people registered on teams for
Chilifest, said Luxion.
“We have 15 fraternities competing this year, and that is
not including other men’s organizations like OF Ags, Iron
Spikes and One Army,” Luxion said.
These groups compete against each other in order to see
who has the most creative builds, Douma said.
“On Saturday the Chilifest judges come together and
determine the top three builds,” Douma said. “There arc
cash prizes for all the winners. ”
The end result shows how much time and effort each
organization puts into their build, Luxion said.
“I would say some probably spend a full semester build
ing,” Luxion said. “Others, maybe a month or three weeks
depending on how it’s structured.”
Collin McCaskill, finance junior and president of the
A&M chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said SAE starts its-
build for Chilifest six weeks in advance, employing 20-
30 fraternity members to work on it each weekday night.
McCaskill said the actual set-up does not happen until the
Friday of Chilifest.
Last year visitors could see builds modeled after the Texas
State Fair, NASCAR, and a pirate ship, Douma said.
“As the years go by, we get crazier and crazier questions
as to whether we can have running moats in the area or if
they can bring in actual boats inside their build,” Douma
said.
In the past they have had people ask about swimming
pools, animals, a horse and even a camel, Luxion said.
“It is getting crazier and crazier,” DoUma said. “But it is
really cool because at the end of the day on Saturday you
can look out and see all these different builds that are all
unique in their own way.”
Proceeds from Chilifest go toward promoting education
al opportunities to low-income children in Brazos Valley.
“There is a connotation that Chilifest is an avenue for
drinking and partying, and to have a lawless weekend, but
I really like to center the focus on where the proceeds go,”
Luxion said. “This year we are on track to hit the 2.5 mil
lion mark since we first started, and that is really exciting
for us to be able to do that as six full-time A&M students.”
Chilifest will happen on Friday and Saturday in Snook,
Texas. Tickets are available online as well as at the gate of
the event.
