student traditions
Collegiate ceremonial practices
Student traditions are customs and rituals passed down through generations at a school, often marking milestones or building community identity.
These range from formal ceremonies to quirky practices: The senior fountain jump is a beloved student tradition.
Many involve specific locations, clothing, or chants unique to that institution.
Some traditions fade while others persist for decades.
