You know Thanksgiving Break is over when you can hear “Dominick the Donkey” being blasted all over campus. I can remember living in Schwitzer Hall my freshman year and being able to hear the song through the cement walls of my dorm room. Even though the song is played on repeat all hours of the day, without it campus would not be the same. “Dominick the Donkey” is just one of the many traditions that can be found on the Butler University campus during the holiday season.
Another lovely tradition that we have here on campus is the lights and decorations that can be found everywhere. When walking through the mall most of the trees are adorned with lights that look amazing when it snows. The fraternities and sororities also decorate their lawns and houses with lights and tons of holiday decorations. These decorations set a fun and festive mood all over campus and get both the students and faculty excited for the long awaited Christmas break.
Some more fun traditions are the holiday concerts and activities that occur during that time of year. If you want to take a break from studying for finals there are Christmas carol concerts or ugly sweater parties that can always be attended. All in all, Butler’s campus is such a fun place to be during the holiday season, that the students do not mind studying for finals. Just kidding!
BUSF Love and Christmas everywhere…
