Traditions
Traditions are often what make a college experience memorable.
Some Malone traditions have been around for decades - Chaos Day, Airband, Christmas Dinner, the Davenport Derby. Others, such as RezHallPalooza or Alternative Gift Market have been established in more recent years.
Whether you create your own casual traditions or participate in one that has been around for generations, we hope that you will enjoy making it your own.

Rezhallapalooza is an event that also occurs a couple times a year, typically the first weekend students return and the night of the Christmas Dinner. Students visit each residence hall for treats and fellowship.

Resident Assistants (RAs) plan floor activities each semester to be enjoyed by their fellow classmates.
