The Greatest College Weekend in America
University of Texas at Austin's Round Up Weekend is often called the Greatest College Weekend in America or even the world.
Starting Thursday nights and continuing until Sunday, RoundUp is primarily hosted by greek life with students from around the country visiting West Campus in Austin, buying wrist bands and tickets like any big name music festival (such as local ACL), and waiting in lines that stretch street corners to get into Bar Tabs and Parties alike. The Greatest College Weekend in America sold as many as 15,000 tickets to students in a single year, and all the proceeds go to charities.
The parties and drunken debauchery doesn't stop with some students forgoing sleep (something UT students are very familiar with) to keep the party going. It's common for fraternities to hire big name and up and coming artists to play concerts for their parties. This includes B.O.B., Riff Raff, Shwayze, and Travis Porter. They also commonly get big sponsorships and team up with other greek orgs to afford the events, alcohol, private security, bar tenders, etc.
There is nothing like it at any other college in the world, and there probably never will be.
Headlines and Bylines about it include: "UT's Round Up Will Make You Want To Transfer Schools" and "Weekends come and go, but this is one unlike any other"
