What is a Wesleyan student called?

Colleges & Universities A-Z Wesleyan University

<p>Is there a special name? For example, Yale = Yallies, etc. Or are they just called Wesleyan students? </p>

<p>And this does have a purpose...I'm writing my essay and it will be important information.</p>

2

<p>I heard of weskid and wesfolk before. Those may be too informal for an essay though.</p>

3

<p>I like the word "Wesfolk." It's charming.</p>

4

<p>cardinals- their mascot</p>

5

<p>No special name, thank god. Yalie=YUCK!!!</p>

6

<p>yeah I guess it is sorta against the whole idea of Wesleyan to define all students by a certain name. :D</p>

7

<p>Are Brown students called Brownies? This has been bothering me, but I think it's too dumb a question for the official Brown board.</p>

8

<p>brunonians. Seriously.</p>

<p>Some Wesleyan students call themselves "lucky":</p>

<p>brunonians? </p>

<p>i think i'd prefer brownies, even if people related me to a bunch of third-grade girls :)</p>

11

<p>Hehe. Wesleyanites, wesfolk, weskids... yeah :D that's pretty much all I can think of :o)</p>

<p>When I was at Wes in the 1980's those of us at Womanist House printed up a bunch of T-Shirts calling ourselves Wesbians. Of course, we lived at Womanist House. Does Womanist House even exist anymore?</p>

<p>Womanist house still exists... I don't know if it was like this when you were there, but now it's has a large percentage of women of color, and many are heterosexual.</p>
