1 - the Haunted House Carroll guys used to put on (before the pc police took over and all fun was eliminated). My freshman year we had a chain saw scene in the basement that caused one girl to wet her pants. My sophomore year we had the Tunnel of Touchy-Feely on the second floor (which I believe caused a few complaints).

2 - My senior year I had a full bar in my room...I'm talking most every type of liquor possible, complete with pourers, along with mixers...SYRs our senior year were phenomenal. I'm told having a stash like that these days would not only get me kicked off campus, but likely kicked out of school.

3 - Full-on poker games my junior and senior year in the middle of the hallway on the fourth floor...we'd pull out a table and set up shop in the middle of the hallway and play all hours into the night.

4 - Parietals were viewed as a recommendation, not necessarily something to be followed. I cannot remember anyone being busted for a violation of parietals during my 4 years there. We used to joke that Carroll's overnight population was 106 Sunday-Thursday but on Fridays and Saturdays it ballooned up to about 120 on average.

5 - Our own section of SDH regardless of which side was serving (left-left or right-left). It was pretty much respected by other students.

I remember going straight from those poker games to finals

including an Accounting final that I had taken as a "what the hell" elective senior year and prioritized the poker game over any amount of studying.

The touchy-feely tunnel was on the first floor and ultimately what caused the Haunted House to get shut down.

We showed up the year adter

And we did well enough to set several traditions like the go Irish banner, winning regatta boat for 15+ years, Christmas tree thing, etc

We also created the boozic (or busic) fest, held parties on the chapel roof, and were the last class to have hard liquor/ lax parietals policy. I also smoked in the dorm because it was allowed by du lac but god that was gross in hindsight.
