Interesting Traditions

• Primal Scream - Students gather at the pergola at midnight the evening before exams and scream at the moon to relieve stress and have some fun.
• Dinks - Small hats that are given to each incoming first-year class they are worn for convocation and some students choose to wear theirs to graduation in lieu of their mortar board.  Alumni with children can request a baby dink in the class color for the year their child will enter Hood College.
• Class Colors - Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green are an integral part of the campus life and traditions
• Class Banners - In class colors, hang in the dining hall.  They are subdivided into quadrants, with a picture depicting something of significance each year of the four years of the class.  Traditionally, students sat in the dining hall under their banner.
• The Pink Spoon - The prize awarded to the winner of "Policies for Dollars" a competition on campus between the classes on Hood College traditions and culture.  It has been fought over, stolen, buried on campus for safekeeping, made appearances at weddings, and is treasured by the students.
