My favorite campus tradition is the Old Oaken Bucket tournament. The Oaken Bucket is one of the oldest football trophies in the United States. It was introduced in 1925 to promote friendly rivalry between Indiana University and Purdue University. Each year the two schools face off in football. The winner of the game gets to add a link to the chain around the bucket either an I for Indiana University or a P for Purdue University. The 1925 game ended in a 0-0 tie so intriguingly, the first link on the bucket is an IP combined. Second to that, the Hello Walk is also an interesting tradition. This is a sidewalk on Purdue's Memorial Mall that is set aside by bronze plaques laid into the concrete. The tradition is that you are "required" to greet each person you pass while walking down it. The interactions on it are always interesting.
