Hooprolling at Wellesley dates all the way back to 1885. Before it became a *highly* competitive race, it started as a way for students to blow off steam at the end of the year.
The race begins bright and early on a Saturday morning. Younger students camp out on Tupelo Lane to save a spot for their friends competing in the race.

Class Colors
Each incoming class is assigned a color: red, green, purple, or yellow. Blue was one of the class colors until it was replaced with green (after blue became the college's official color in 1953).
On the last day of classes, seniors decorate the campus with their class colors.
And at reunion, alums return to campus decked out in their class color and ready to catch up with their Wellesley classmates.
The tradition dates to at least the 1920s. No one knows exactly when it started, but this photo from 1925 shows that it’s been around for quite a while!
每年秋季,new students are matched with a Wellesley big sister. At Flower Sunday, big sisters bring bouquets of flowers to their “littles” as an official welcome to Wellesley.
It’s held each year in September and features multicultural and multifaith song, music, poetry and dance.

湖日
湖日is the perfect way for students to take a break from studying and let loose for an unexpected day of fun.
Each year, the date of Lake Day is kept TOP SECRET until the night before when an invitation goes out to the Wellesley community.
湖日takes on a different theme each year — everything from Game of Thrones to Alice and Wonderland to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
一个学生团体,施耐德董事会(SBOG), hosts this celebration. There's fried dough, carnival food, fun games, and inflatables.
