Title says it all.
We have two:
1. The CSA's and tour guides all insist that the buildings are named after grapes...but we all know they're really named after wines. (Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot, Verdot, Beaujolais, etc.)
2. When the weather is warm, because our school uses authentic "fertilizer" for all our lawns and because we're right next to a creek, we get this wonderful odor..nicknamed "The Sonoma Aroma".

There's a lot more that I just can't think of right now...
2. Everyone in our upper-class cohort already attending the 4-year school or transferring from one local community college. First couple of weeks, the question was asked - "UMD or MC?" Of the 180 of us, I've only found 6 that transferred in from another school last year and only 2 from another 4-year school.
But I'll admit that it's just too funny!
To which they reply, "THEY'RE GRAPES!!!!"
oohhhhhhhh. that makes sense. When I read the OP, I immediately thought was BusinessGuy was thinking too.

But the students changed that story completely and states that when ever a virgin girl walks by, he makes a whistling noise. But when a non-virgin walks by -- he's silent. Considering this is Rutgers (or Slutgers) I'm sure he doesn't do a lot of whistling.
What guys say: Girls are like parking spaces, all the good ones are taken and the rest are handicapped.
Although I have to disagree with the "what guys say" one. Being that some of us choose to be single, would that mean that we choose to be handicapped? But still, it's a clever quote.
don't know if we go to the same school or not but:
girls say- The odds are good but the goods are odd.
Guys say- CWRU: Case Women R Ugly
We've got a building called the Wang Center with an enormous phallic tower on top, and a SAC (stands for student activities center, pronounced "sack") with two ballrooms.
The pizza's so good it's worth committing armed robbery for (the "gun" turned out to be an overzealous security guard's hallucination, but we only found that out after they put the whole campus on alert and locked some buildings down... the pizza really is awesome, though!)
But of course, the definition of an "inside joke" means that they're not that funny if you're not from that school :P
Pseudonym, our campus center is called the Wang, too! And we have a building called the Clapp and Munger (look it up on urban dictionary, it's horrible).
