Traditions can make your Malone experience memorable
It’s often said that “college is what you make of it.” At Malone, whether you and your friends create your own traditions or participate in those that have been around for generations, we hope that you will enjoy making them your own!
Some Malone traditions have been around for decades, like Chaos Day, Airband, Christmas Dinner, and Davenport Derby. Others, such as RezHallPalooza or Alternative Gift Market, have been established in more recent years.
No matter how to make memories on campus, we are so glad you’ve chosen to make them with us!
Airband
We did lipsync before it was trendy! One of Malone’s most beloved traditions, Airband puts you and your friends center-stage so you can shine.
Since 1993, student teams have performed with elaborate costumes, breathtaking choreography, and spot on lip-syncing skills to compete for the prestigious golden sneaker trophy! From Broadway’s Lion King to superheroes to the Blues Brothers to our famous campus squirrels, the annual Airband competition is an entertaining way to take a study break and finish the year!
Fall Fest
Fall Fest is a yearly tradition that celebrates all things Fall! Throughout the week, each residence hall gets to host its own fall-themed event for all of campus! From cozy classics to creative new ideas, each hall brings its own personality to the celebration, making each day of Fall Fest feel a little different… and a whole lot of fun!
Reshallpalooza
Reshallpalooza is the ultimate campus-wide kickoff to Fall! At the beginning of each Fall semester, every residence hall brings its A-game by creating its own totally unique themed skit, event, or experience. Students can roam around campus, jump into all kinds of games, activities, and ridiculous adventures! With something happening around every corner, you never know what (or who!) you’re going to run into!
