Yes, there are plenty of pictures in a photo gallery. Yes, one of them shows the tutu-clad Sigma Kappa. Others show community members, guys from at least three different fraternities, and a lil' wet kid who was costumed as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
I did one of these when I was in college (jumped into Lake Erie in early March to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's) and what Hartman says is true - the hardest part is getting out. You Just run, jump in, and don't think about it. But when I got out, I only took a few steps from the edge of the water before I collapsed on the sand. My legs felt so heavy and useless and basically just stopped working.

It was awesome!
