Traditions of College Life
Stanford’s alumni magazine ran a list of 101 things to do in college that included such time-honored, Stanford rituals as joining in the “Dead Week Primal Scream,” dancing at the Mausoleum Party and getting kissed at “Full Moon on the Quad,” a tradition for all freshmen (or it was before the advent of swine flu on college campuses). A few decades ago, that list probably would have included swallowing goldfish, wearing raccoon coats and cramming into phone booths too. Not all college traditions involve accepting a dare or making a fool of yourself. Some are tried and true traditions that every school has and every college student should experience. You are still young and college is filled with fun, get out there and make the most of it!
