Like most things at Stanford, activities and social life vary a great deal, although most take place on campus. “Apart from all-campus parties, there are always concerts from different groups, dance performances, plays, comedy shows, and in-dorm activities planned by staff members,” a student say. As tradition goes, freshmen aren’t “true Stanford students” until they’ve been kissed at midnight in the quad by a senior. Full Moon on the Quad occurs at the first full moon, and features a bevy of first-year students eager to receive their initiation (courtesy of a well-timed entrance by upperclassmen). Greek organizations claim 24 percent of the men and 28 percent of the women, and provide their share of happy hours and weekend bashes, which are open to all. Underage drinking happens, but is kept under control, students say. “The RAs are not required to report instances of drinking, so it’s safe and open,” a senior says. Another Stanford tradition is the Viennese Ball, a February event that may make you wish you’d taken ballroom dancing lessons. Halloween finds students partying at the Mausoleum, the Stanfords’ final resting place.
