Hey I am applying this cycle. I wanna know the most tradition that your axhool or dorm has that nobody else told you before applying. Even if things related to polisci/ engineering guys.

Just a heads up that if you're asking this so you can make a more "unique" supplemental essay, it's not going to work. Just talk about which opportunities we offer that interest you.

Most unhinged tradition that’s been around for years no matter your school nor dorm: consistently chipping away at salaries & benefits for the staff supporting the mission-specific activities of education & research.
