Introducing The Beloved Residence Halls of Sewanee…And Their Nicknames

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Sewanee chapter.

We’re sure all schools have wonderful opinions of their well beloved dorms, but Sewanee has a love so deep that it leads to naming them kindly… or not so kindly. 

Benedict: Benedick, Benny
Cannon: Cannon Cult… the Freshman class of 2013 even had their own handsign
Cleveland: Dirty Cleve, Clevage
Gorgas: Gorgasm, Gorgass, G-spot (and as for the recent poop incident…. EWWWWW… WHY?!)
Hodgson: the Hodge, Hodgepodge
Humphreys: Hump de Dump, Humps, the Hump
Johnson: Sweaty J, Sticky J
McCrady: McCrazy, Mc$h#tty
Quintard: Quinturd
St. Lukes: Slukes
 
Trezevant: enough said that those unfortunate women leaving Trez are called “Treztitutes”
 
Tuckaway: F#”*kaway (Guess nobody likes being around the ghosts in Tuckaway?)
 
And as for the following… clearly they need to be loved a little more. Maybe we can find some clever names for the future of these special dorms??
Courts
Elliot
Smith
Phillips
Hunter 
Hoffman
