From school-sanctioned mass make-out sessions to naked runs across campus, here are 16 raunchy, drunken and just plain odd college campus traditions. We're not making these up – all are confirmed by recent graduates.
Yale University: The Naked Library Walk And The Naked Punt Return
"First, there's the naked library walk (NOT run) during finals where a good fifty people, if not more, hand out candy, butt naked. There's lots of [body] hair. It's not pretty.
"There's also the naked punt return. The lacrosse fraternity waits for the first snow of the year. Once the main campus bar closes, everyone heads to old campus and the frat's pledges have to return punts in their thongs. Meanwhile, football players are all there to tackle them into the snow. And EVERYONE watches."

University of South Carolina: The Legend Of The Maxcy Monument
"The Maxcy Monument is this stone obelisk in the middle of campus with a golden ball sitting on top of it. Legend says the ball was supposed to spin when a truly 'good' girl walked past it — 'good' meaning virginal, pearl-wearing, Southern and Christian to the core — but of course the ball never moved. At some point the ball was either stolen or enough parents complained about it never spinning when their daughters walked past it that the school had to weld the ball into its little iron holster, so now there's no chance of it spinning ever again."

University of Wisconsin: Sex In The Stacks Of Memorial Library
"Having sex in the library is a big thing, to the point that having sex in Memorial Library stacks is pretty much seen as a rite of passage. College Library, another one on campus, has rooms with two-way mirrors in the middle of the floor that people try to have sex in too."

Macalester College: Ringing The Bell The First Time You Have Sex On Campus
"Macalester College is a tiny school in St. Paul, Minnesota. There was a huge old memorial bell (no one knew what it was memorializing), and the tradition was to ring the bell right after losing your Mac virginity — the first time you had sex on campus. Every time the bell rang, people would lean out of dorm windows to applaud."
