Step 48: Celebrate Ring Day

This step is very specific to Woodsies, but can, if generalized to the extreme, be relevant to all college graduates. The generic version: if your school and/or sorority/fraternity has some sort of tradition that calls you back to your alma mater, do everything in your power to be there. Specifically for the girls of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College: if your little sister is getting her class ring, drop everything so that you can be there.

Traditions are what connect students and alumnae/i from every generation and every part of the globe. It's important that you try your hardest to be a part of them, especially when it involves supporting the current student body, and even more especially when it involves your dearest friends. Remember how much it meant to you when you celebrated that special moment with the people who had helped you reach that milestone in your college career and know that it means just as much (if not more) to those going through school right now.

To all the juniors at SMWC who received a ring this weekend, congratulations! And to the world's best little sis, Olive Juice. :)

So my question to you: What kind of unique tradition does your school have? Everyone's got homecoming and reunion, so I'm talking about the weird stuff that no one else has ever heard of except for the students that are eagerly counting down the days until it happens.
And my challenge to you: If your school doesn't have some sort of tradition for you to uphold, you could always go back for a play or a soccer game or a concert or some other fun event sponsored by your school. It's a great way to stay connected to your friends and support your college.
