Colgate 13: Culture and Traditions
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
I'm just Hey, um, of floor of my dorm with Haley and Luke again, I can't escape these guys, But we wanted to talk about culture and traditions. That cold game, so the biggest thing will probably hear about is the number thirteen. I remember being really confused before I came to campus. Like, what does? Why are we so obsessed with thirteen? And it turns out it's kind of complex. The school was founded by thirteen men who each gave thirteen dollars in thirteen prayers. There are thirteen letters in our motto Day Ock Vera Toddy, which means something about truth but gods. So we're pretty obsessed with the number thirteen here. Every Friday, Friday, the thirteenth, you will see alum Colgate wearing there. It's got to be Friday, but they all wear their core gate gear all across the country. All across the world is really cool and on campus, I know there's a lot of celebrations. We haven't been here for one yet, but it is the bicentennial this year. So we have been kind of partying and like not so Earth, Wind and fire came to campus, which was pretty fun on the twenty second. I second that it sometimes almost perfect, but more generally with cultural Colgate, I would like the phrase people use to sum it up. One weekend I was in the library for eight hours and like I was still able to, like, go out. I was really surprised at how much you could do, how much night life there is, a lot of it, like centers around Greek life. There's also a bunch of other places you can go, and a lot of it doesn't involve drinking either, So it's a pretty inclusive campus when it comes to activities you could do at night, which it is pretty nice, because sometimes I don't feel like going out and you know, So what? We saw Rocky horror. Yeah, the other night they had like a midnight screening of Rocky Horror Picture show, which was really cools for Halloween. So overall culture is, although it's very heavy on academics, there still a lot of emphasis on having fun and building community. Hopefully, if you guys come next year, you could be a part of making our culture.
