There are no sororities on campus.

Instead of sororities, we have...

Instead of sororities, we have Traditions, which, in a way, create one giant, all-inclusive sorority out of the entire student body. Traditions are wonderful and bring the college together in a way that nothing else can. They make new students feel included and loved from their first day here. At the end of the year, May Day provides a way for seniors to say goodbye before their actual graduation, which is really more for the benefit of the parents. Mawrters keep their lanterns their entire lives, and the most diehard atheists among us will still leave offerings at the statue of Athena for help in times of need.

Traditions are one thing about BMC...

Traditions are one thing about BMC I wish I had known more about before making my decision—not that it is a bad thing. I just did not know it played as big a role in the student community as it does. The different Traditions seem to come at perfect times, because they are great reasons to try and forget about work, while bringing the campus together to bond. It is not as corny as it sounds, but it makes me feel good and remember another reason I am happy to be at Bryn Mawr.
