One of my favorite traditions on campus is Marquette Madness, which is an event for the whole school/student season ticket holders. All of the NBA players will come back and you get introduced to the "team" although the majority of them are returning students. There is music, and some fun competitive contests for free swag. Great time!

It still gives me chills when each men's basketball game starts with the little video and inspirational music. If you're going through your typical "Marquette isn't right for me" stage, go to a basketball game! It has the utmost sense of community.

Between the third and fourth quarters, "Jump Around" is played and the jumbo-tron immediatley closes in on a MU alum, probably late 40s and typically dressed in a nice suit and tie, dancing to the song like an idiot. Perhaps one of my fondest memories at Marquette!
