We don't have many fun rumors but we have a few:
We have a statue of our founder in the middle of campus and supposedly it is good luck to rub his head before a test.
Now this one I know for sure is true! They say that the fourth floor of the freshman girl's dorm, Porter, is haunted by the ghost of a girl who did not get a bid from a sorority she wanted (it was either ADPi or Phi Mu) so she hung herself on bid night in their suite like 10 years ago. The only thing up there is the old ADPi and Phi Mu suites and some storage. But everything is deadbolted. The suites haven't been used in a long long time. They say that she haunts people who go into the suites. I know this is true because I went with a bunch of friends on bid night into the ADPi suite which was mysteriously unlocked!!!! And then a few weeks later I went into the Phi Mu suite. Both are normally deadbolted like crazy but the bolts were literally still locked and pulled away from the door. ANYWAY, to make a long story short, apparently me and one of my pledge sisters were the only ones to go into the room where "Pearl" was murdered and were haunted by her all fall semester. (We both moved spring semester and Pearl didnt follow thankfully) I was locked in a bathroom stall, saw mysterious shadows, doors opening when I passed them, and heard mysterious bumps all aroundthe pipes in my room. My friend had little pictures drawn on her ceiling and 5 red streaks like finger prints mysteriously show up on her wall. Yeah, scary as hell. Being haunted is NOT fun. (We both moved spring semester and Pearl didnt follow thankfully and the weird thing was that all the stuff that was around from Pearl haunting us disappeared, like the pictures, streaks,and weird bathroom occurences )Pearl also haunted a few of my other friends who went up there another time and did things like turn on things that were unplugged and tear down showercurtains (not the rod just the curtain would fall down). People who lived on 3rd Porter would also always here footsteps like someone pacing and then rafters creaking like something was swinging and moans like someone was being hurt. SOOO creepy.
SO, future Mercer students, don't let curiousity overtake you and stay off of 4th Porter!!!
