Like most other schools, Kent State has "The Rock' also. It's a big rock on Front Campus facing Main St.

It's tradition for sorority NM classes to paint it with their letters and class year on their Initiation night & take class pictures. This created a problem sometimes because some sororities had Initiation on the same weekend as we did. So sometimes, ABC would finish painting and we would come right up after them and paint over it.

During the time before recruitment, each sorority usually paints "XYZ says GO GREEK!" on it (with GO GREEK always larger than the sorority letters as a rule), as part of Panhellenic Spirit Week. The sorority who paints it the most times during that week gets a banner.

Fraternities are also pretty big into painting it. During their I Week, the fraternities challenge their new guys to keep their letters on it at all times. Some fraternities would make pledges sleep in front of the Rock after painting it, so no one could paint over it.
