Oh, my goodness; they have so many party traditions that have been going on for years. They have the Mary-Be-James cross-dressing ball (named after a dorm named after a prof, maybe–Mary B. James–or maybe she was a trustee or something. They have a waltz night near the end of each semester, Disco (self-explanatory), another party on day 100 when they get their first paychecks for campus jobs (anyone who wants one can get a job on campus), Block Party at the end of each year, you will get better info from students. I’m just a Mom, but I know the parties are really special.
