Get ready for it! Spring Party is upon us… meaning good food, good music, and good times (that hopefully you will remember for the rest of your lives… if you remember them at all). Â As we gear up for the next few days of fun, here are some funny, crazy, and sometimes downright embarassing stories of Sewanee students to get you ready for one of the best weekends of the Sewanee calendar.Â
*names have been excluded to protect reputations
“My freshman year after Fiji Island, I was so hungry/drunk, I hate 7 corn dogs in clurg.”
“I stole a live crawfish from Fiji Island, named it Skippy, ran around with it all day in my Lilly wine glass, and somehow it ended up in the Holy Water (It was NOT ME PERSONALLY who put it in the Holy Water)”
^(another student’s response)^”I put Skippy the crawfish in the Holy Water”Â
“I took a bite out of an apple in clurg and put it back in the pile”
“I had a friend who visited for fall party my freshman year from a state school. She went out in 4 inch heels, a bandage dress, and I wrote my name, number and room number on her arm. I lost her in SAE, and she ended up sleeping in Trez – but, wait for it, not even IN Trez, but in a car in the parking lot of Trez because a UVA kid promised her “heat”. Moral of the story — you’re better off not inviting anyone and just enjoying whoever else happens to be on the mountain”
“Cursed out my ex boyfriend in front of all of pub because he stole my keycard”
“I was given a whole cake from McClurg during fall party because I told one of the bakers I needed some sugar and carbs”
“I refused to drink mimosas and made the Fiji social chair give me two personal bottles of champagne because drunk me couldn’t possibly drink ‘diluted champy’ ”Â
“I took an entire key lime pie from clurg during fall party one year”
“I borrowed a palm tree from gamma, some guys shirt, and one of the gamma necklaces”
“Freshman year, I invited 7 guys to formal, but I went home with someone totally different”
“Freshmen year my roommate and myself pre-gamed a little too hard in the morning, we passed out at around 10 am and didn’t wake up until about 7 at night and we had bagels and cream cheese all over our beds and all over our hair and faces.. We don’t even remember getting bagels”
“My friend from home somehow wandered back (successfully) to gorgas one night of spring party junior year, she couldn’t get in my room because it was locked so she decided to take a shower. After the shower she realized she didn’t have a towel and ran into someone who was just like, hey what’s up”
“I got really drunk at fiji island, and stumbled home where i was afraid of puking on my clothes. so i took them off. then i decided to Skype my boyfriend who was in an airport, and did not care at all that i was flashing anyone who happened to be walking past his screen in the airport”
“I stage dove off the SNU stage in an attempt to crowd surf…..except there was no crowd, in fact the room was entirely empty save one of my friends, and so I basically belly flopped onto the cement floor. Still have a battle scar to this day”
“I stole a decorative tiki torch at Margaritaville, and the band actually tracked me down by finding a pic of me with it on Facebook, and I had to drive all the way to Nashville to return the tiki torch to them the next week”
“I was so drunk I evidently spent a solid ten minutes outside SAE crying about my feelings to a tree”
“My freshman year at margaritaville the Gammas were throwing water balloons over their house from the back and without aiming or even looking were able to hit me square between my shoulder blades. Soaking wet for the whole day.”
“After going to the Wiggins Red Eye and Fiji Island, I was so tired and groggy that I fell asleep in the back of a car as my friends insisted on driving to Taco Bell. Waking up to a bag of tacos in front of me was pretty fantastic.”
“I rolled around in the mud with Ash when she was a puppy for an hour last year… in a lilly dress!”
“I had a sleepover and he tried to [poop] on my floor”
“I laid on the ground at SAE for an hour to take a nap”
“I played with a duck saved from SAE in Smith for about a week after Sparty. We named him Duckus”
“I shot-gunned a beer in front of a professor”
“A friend and I went into a boy’s room after mud wrestling in formal dresses to get clean tshirts and tried to get pub but were turned away due to our lack of pants and shoes”
“I don’t remember that much from Spring Party”
Eat. Drink. Be Merry.
