Tower of Olympus
Motto: “One Peak, One Pack, One Pride”
The Tower of Olympus otherwise known as Tower 1 was established in August 2013 with an appetizing culture of Greek Mythology. This Tower represents Mount Olympus, the highest peak of gods and goddesses and the home of 132 freshers at the Elsa Leo-Rhynie Hall. This tower consists of six (6) floors named after powerful gods and goddesses namely, Ares, Hermes, Athena, Artemis, Hera and Aphrodite.

Tower of Phoenix
Motto: “From the ashes we rise, forever we blaze”
​
The Tower of Phoenix, Home of Legends was opened in January of 2013 accommodating sixteen (16) residents at the time. As such, the residents were able to comrade and radiate an environment of creativity and goal orientation. It was then the name of the Tower was established, the colours purple, gold and black were chosen and the motto formulated. Our first Tower committee was established in the academic year 2013–2014 and composed of capable and goal-oriented Alphas. Sania “Alpha Hotesss” was appointed the first Tower Representative. Renowned for having the most achievements, The Tower of Phoenix dominates the Elsa Leo Rhynie hall while carrying the moniker of “The Sports Tower. In the competitive spirit of the Tower of Phoenix, we were able to leave our mark on ELR tower history for eight consecutive years and, dare I say it, strike fear in the hearts of our fellow towers. The Tower of Phoenix maintained its status as the Champion Tower; in the academic years thereafter, and under the leadership of the current Tower Representative Daniel “Alpha Jimmy Neutron” Collington and Deputy Tower Representative Shannae “Alpha Archer” Stewart wishes to continue the legacy and blaze on like the legends before.

Tower of Apollo
Motto:‘Post Proelium Praemium'
Established August 19 2013, the tower of Apollo thrives on hard work, dedication and determination . The mustard seed of the Elsa Leo Rhynie Hall, we proudly embrace the colors of Turquoise and Gold which symbolizes our strength and prosperity respectively. Our name comes from Apollo the Greek god associated with the bow, music, and divination. The epitome of youth and beauty, source of life and healing, patron of the arts, and as bright and powerful as the sun itself, Apollo was, arguably, the most loved of all the gods. As the smallest tower we have a big heart and we believe in defying the odds as the saying goes ‘we likkle but we tallawah’. Our crest portrays four symbols: A Handshake, a Torch, a Man and a Wolf which signifies Unity, Liberty, Strength and Loyalty respectively. As our motto suggests, no matter the problem we will triumph and come out victorious as one.
‘Post Proelium Praemium' - After the battle the reward ’
‘ONE TEAM, ONE TOWER, ONE APOLLO’
