Medieval Re-Enactment has been present at Carthage College since the 2003-2004 school year. During the 2004-2005 school year, the group of interested students came together to create a new group that was called, Court of Nobility. Since then, the House of Gabriel chapter has grown in size and interest, and is becoming better known on campus and to interested students.
The 2006-2007 school year sees a new milestone- the creation of a second household. The House of the Rising Sun in the Desert Realm (state of Arizona), brought to the Arizona State University campus by Carthage Alumni Kevin McCormick .
*note that Cout of Nobility will be refurred to as CoN, and The House of Gabriel as HoG on other pages
Meetings happen every week during the school year at 9:00 pm, Monday evenings in the Meditation Chapel on Campus. Guests are welcome at any meeting. Otherwise, interested individuals may contact any member of the Council to get further information, or send an email to this address: jkizior@carthage.edu.
