Bryn Mawr College Traditions

This is a non-detailed list of the traditions and superstitions that I am aware of at the current time at Bryn Mawr College.

1.  Customs Week - essentially freshwomen, transfer, and McBride student's orientation; lead by sophomores
2.  Tea Parties - depending on who is hosting the "Tea" there may or may not actually be hot tea; Teas are typically formulated around a specific topic or group; for example my Customs people hosted a Tea for my Customs group (which is the group of freshwomen on my hall) - I am planning on hosting an astrology Tea!
3.  Friendship Poles (which no longer exist) - whoever you're walking with must go around or through the poles by Pem Arch on the same side as you or you'll have a major argument
4.  Senior Steps - don't touch them unless you're a Senior, you won't graduate
5.  Senior Row - don't walk all the way down the path of trees in the middle of campus unless you are a Senior, you won't graduate; if you loop one, you're fine
6.  Bryn Mawr Chant - don't start it unless you are a Senior, you won't graduate
7.  Don't kiss on Moon Bench - you'll break-up with whoever you kiss
8.  Kiss under Rock Arch - you'll have a lasting relationship with the person you kiss
9.  All of the "bad" things can be reversed by giving a SINCERE offering to Athena, located in Thomas Great Hall
10.  Parade Night - freshwomen run through Pem Arch and down the concrete area there while being pelted with water balloons by the sophomores and flowers, candy, bread crumbs, glitter, and confetti by the juniors the first Friday after classes begin
11.  Step Sings - lots of singing
12.  Lantern Night - freshwomen receive their lanterns
13.  Hell Week - hazing week; includes Duck Pond Run (running to Haverford's duck pond and getting pushed in at the beginning of the month of FEBRUARY!)
14.  May Day - white dresses, pole dancing, singing, picnicking
15.  Senior Bell Ringing - Seniors each ring the bell in Taylor after they finish their finals for the number of their graduating class
16.  Fall Frolic - second Friday after classes begin where the student body gathers for picnicking and club sign-ups

There are probably more, but I don't know them yet.  :/  And some of the details have been left out in case any potential freshwomen read this, because at least for Parade Night, there are some surprises that I wouldn't want to ruin for them!  :)
