Converse College Traditions

Hello and Welcome to Converse College !
At Converse we enjoy having new and incoming freshmen. The events and traditions at Converse are invigorating and a great way for students to communicate with each other. One of my favorite and old traditions I love is the Class of  Pink Panthers and Red Devils. The Pink Panthersa re the even number graduating class, such as 2014. The Red Devil are the odd number graduating class.

With incoming freshmen the juniors begins to "stalk" the freshmen and determine which one will be their little sister or little sisters. This is called Big sis and Lil sis, it occurs during the month of September . Big sis little sis week occurs during the last week in September and Monday through Wednesday your stalker, I mean your big sis will spoil you and give you gifts. By Wednesday night, the juniors will reveal who they are and the freshmen will meet their big sis ! Doesn't this sound exciting.?!!!

A small tradition we have at Converse is purple blue bell ice cream. Not frozen artificial ice cream, it is the real deal ice cream. With the ice cream you can eat it out of pink panther bowl or a red devil bowl. Once a month in the cafeteria, we have a day called "sugar attack". Sugar attack consist of sweets galore. Forget freshmen 15, its all about freshmen 50 ! I am kidding...maybe. BUT, at least we have a lot of sweets. So, Willy wonky ain't got nothing on us.

I know at Converse College we used to have a requirement of convocations which is 6 total. We have reduced that to 3 convocation. The 3 convocations does not have to be 3 different categories. The 3 can be in the same category.
