Well, not to totally change the subject of the thread... but Tear Night is when the guys formally accept their bids to fraternities (or something like that... I'm still perplexed by formal fraternity recruitment at my school. I've heard that it's called Tear Night for two reasons. One, the guys tear the bids from the houses they don't want. Two, they tear off an old shirt and put on a new one that has their house name on it. Personally, I like number two a little better!!). That night all of the houses have parties (bands or djs). It's so nice to finally be able to relax after a stressful week of recruitment and you get to see what houses all of the freshmen guys pledged. Also, since recruitment is right after winter break, it's great to see everyone again (especially since the few weeks before winter break are consumed by finals and all of that kind of fun). It's a fun and crazy night!!
