Barnard Traditions

Colleges and Universities A-Z Barnard College

<p>So which tradition are you girls most looking forward to participating in? (:</p>

<p>Midnight Breakfast</p>

<p>Primal Scream</p>

<p>Greek Games</p>

<p>Spirit Day</p>

<p>Big Sub</p>

<p>Take Back the Night (and Speak Out afterwards)</p>

<p>Varsity Show (more Columbia, but Barnard gets to participate)</p>

<p>Orgo Night (also, Columbia’s, but Barnard girls get to throw trash and notes at the Columbia band, which I personally think is very awesome)</p>

<p>If you girls know any others, please share. I’ve been told conflicting stories about Barnard’s sense of community and spirit, but I can’t help but feel that since it’s up to the students, I feel like all the new admittees I’ve gotten to know would not be willing to easily relinquish the efforts to create a wonderful, big, college family.</p>

<p>If anyone’s interested, I found this article by the Columbia Spectator about Barnard/Columbia’s lack of traditions. [Institutional</a> Memory | The Eye](<a href=“http://eye.columbiaspectator.com/article/2010/11/18/institutional-memory]Institutional”>http://eye.columbiaspectator.com/article/2010/11/18/institutional-memory)</p>

<p>I like all of them.</p>

<p>“In 2007, the Primal Scream also incorporated many students running out to the middle of campus to have a large group pillow fight.” HAHA. And I feel really sorry for everyone living around the area.</p>
