At the beginning of the fall term, freshmen are greeted by Dartmouth students wearing costumes or colorful wacky clothing.
This tradition helps to make the campus less intimidating and allow students to relax and express their creativity.
All Dartmouth students have some “flair” in their closet – including some passed down from other students.
Homecoming, also known as Dartmouth Night, is a century old tradition where alumni are invited back for a football game, parade, bonfire, and other festivities.
It’s also tradition for freshman students to run laps around the bonfire. The number of laps depend on the class year.
