The annual St. Patrick's Day party at Colby College. Traditionally celebrated on the Saturday closest to St. Patrick's Day, students wake up at 4 am to drink green beer and other alcoholic beverages with their friends. Swallowing a live goldfish is also part of the tradition for some people. When the event was jeopardized by local police and school administrators in 2004, students rioted, causing over $20,000 in damage.
I'm so excited to drink for 24 hours straight on Doghead...I just hope I don't get written up by security.
A Colby College event that celebrates St. Patrick's Day on the closest Friday/Saturday to the holiday. Students start drinking in the evening Friday and stay up all night (while drinking like champs) then watch the sunrise (drunk) and attend a special breakfast (even drunker). The drinking lasts for at least 24 hours and students wear green, drink green, and vomit green goldfish.
