TheA_Bomb Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This is an email I just received that was sent to all students: Billiken Traditions 2009-2010 "Dear all students, faculty/staff, and alumni, Please fill out this survey to help determine the top six traditions at SLU for the 2009-2010 school year. With this information, the Billiken Traditions Task Force will help further the prominence of Traditions at Saint Louis University to build a common experience among the SLU community. It will also help establish the goals of the growing Cannonballers spirit society, of which we will have more information for you in the coming months. Thank you for your time!

Taj79 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The only one I could vote for, from experience, is Spring Fever. Just goes to show how old I am. But I am interested in seeing whatever that documentary or program is on SLU 72 that premieres yearly. That guy must be legendary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Billiken Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I voted for Rubbing Billiken Belly, Spring Fling, Homecoming, First 10 PM Mass, Blue Out and Other Sigma Chi Derby Days At least they are trying. I agree with the list a close 6th would be the Sigma Chi Rock the Quad.... Official Billikens.com sponsor of Kevin Shortal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dneuner Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 -i am not familiar with the cannonballers, who/what is that? It's a new initiative by SGA (set up by former President Sam Howard) to plant the seeds of spirit on campus. They are the ones behind the "Billiken Signal" and the "Billiken Tradition" after-parties at Hump's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 What about the tradition of young Gamma Phi coeds running through the quad in lingerie on gameday? What, that's not a tradition...it should be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 10 Rubbing the Billiken Belly This might be the only legitimate tradition on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 This might be the only legitimate tradition on the list. But you know what they say, there's no tradition like a new tradition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurking Dog Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 This might be the only legitimate tradition on the list. It looks like Drake copied the idea for a mascot statue 10 years later....Link How many nicknames at schools without football originated with a football team? Billikens Titans (Detroit) Ramblers (Loyola) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
