Unsourced content

I am moving the following claims from the article as they lack sources. This info can be restored once a source is found:

References to the "TS" letters can be found on plaques, monuments, and statues throughout the campus.
The society places red roses and white carnations at the base of the James Buchanan Duke statue as their calling card.
One TS symbol is the "Charley Bell," located within Kilgo quad, which was a gift from former society members which is believed to be controlled exclusively by the society. Details about the reasons for the use of the Bell remain unknown. A student report exposed that the Bell supposedly rings seven times for each of the graduating seven seniors in the society on the first Thursday of May. (Note that this bell story does not match this information provided by the Duke University Library)
The Trident Society annually writes and frames a letter of recognition to select university faculty and staff who exceptionally impact the lives of students, maintain support for undergraduate scholarships, and make philanthropic gifts.
