Harvard has Primal Scream. At midnight on the night before finals begin each semester, the whole student body pours into the center of campus and screams -- and then a group of students (anywhere from 100 to 500) throws off their coats/bathrobes and runs a naked lap of the Yard while the band plays in front of the John Harvard statue. Due to the timing of fall semester exams, once a year this happens at midnight in January in New England.
I ran every semester and it was a blast, especially in January! You don't feel the cold at all.
