Because I have nothing better to do and I don't want to work:

At Iowa State:

* If you walk around Lake LaVerne (small man-made pond by our Memorial Union) three times holding hands with your sweetie and don't talk, you'll be together forever.
* A brick will fall if you kiss a virgin under the Campanile at midnight (hmmm, nothing fallen yet) and you're not officially an ISU stuent until you go campaniling
* If you walk on the Zodiac on the north entrance to the MU, you'll fail your next exam, but you can counteract it by throwing a penny in the Fountain of the Four Seasons. Funny, though, the designer actually wanted students to walk over it to wear down the brass design.
* Supposedly, before VEISHEA went dry, it was the largest amount of alcohol consumed in a single weekend.
* The Kappa house had a resident ghost--Annie. She would cause electronics to turn off and on, doors to open and shut and books to fall or mysteriously be moved. If you told her to knock it off, though, she would. Before we purchased our house, it was supposedly a funeral home (not sure abot this) and a Baptist Student center (it was, the church is still up the street) and she died in it in the 1920s.
* The Phi Delt house (which was formerly the APhi house) used to be a church. Nothing scary, but it is a little strange to see where the altar and things used to be in their living room.

That's all I can think of right now. . .
