[edit] Traditions
[edit] Stealing the T
Tech's historic and primary administrative building, Tech Tower, has the letters TECH hanging atop it on each of its four sides. Since 1969, students on several occasions have orchestrated complex plans to scale Tech Tower and steal the huge symbolic letter T off the building. The 'T' was first stolen in April of 1969 by a secret group of Georgia Tech students calling themselves the "Magnificent Seven."[1] The students, who were inspired by a similar prank that had taken place in 1968 at Harvard University, planned the theft as a means of commemorating Institute President Edwin D. Harrison's retirement. The 'T' was returned several days later via helicopter at the behest of Atlanta mayor Ivan Allen.[2]
Following successful thefts, the T would then returned at the halftime of the homecoming football game or would be returned to the lawn of the President's mansion, and the student's achievement would be celebrated. Tradition dictates that the first T to be stolen should be the one facing east, as this can most easily be seen from the I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector.[3] Although the administration used to turn a blind eye to this practice,[2] it is now officially discouraged, due to the risk of fatal falls and the potential for damage to the building, and equated to criminal activity (trespassing and theft). In recent years, this has become a serious offense, and perpetrators today would face a hefty fine to repair damages done to the building and a minimum of a semester-long suspension for attempting the feat, if not outright expulsion.[4][5]
Security features such as security cameras, pressure sensitive roof tiling, and fiber optic cabling running throughout the letters have been added to the T to help prevent its theft and aid in catching the perpetrators.[5] The last successful stealing of the T occurred in 1999 and to this day, the location of that T is unknown. In 2001, two members of the fraternity Beta Theta Pi were caught and suspended in an attempt to steal the T.[6] In October 2005, a replica of the T was stolen from the Student Services Building and returned two days later.[7] Despite the lack of physical danger involved in stealing the spare T, the theft was still strongly criticized.[7]
[edit] The Whistle
A steam whistle that blows five minutes before the hour, every hour.[8] This tradition is a hold over from the trade school days, originally used to mark the end of a shift in the shops; now it is used both to mark the end of classes and as a ten minute warning to the beginning of the next classes. It is also blown when Georgia Tech's football team scores a touchdown or wins a game, and at each spring's "When the Whistle Blows" remembrance ceremony.[9] The current steam whistle, located near Tech Tower, was built by the GTRI Machine Shop and installed in 2004.[10]
[edit] Ramblin' Wreck
- See also: Ramblin' Wreck and Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech
The term Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech refers to either current students or alumni, the school mascot, or the various sports teams. Georgia Tech alumni, working on the construction of the Panama Canal, were called Ramblin' Wrecks for the ingenuitive machines that they devised to transport themselves in and out of the jungles of Panama. These devices and their creators were nicknamed Ramblin' Wrecks from Georgia Tech. Since then the term Ramblin' Wreck has been applied to a graduate or current student of Georgia Tech. The physical Ramblin' Wreck is a 1930 Ford Model A owned by the student body, which has been present on campus since 1961. The first Ramblin' Wreck mascot reference was in 1929 to Dean Floyd Field's 1914 Ford Model T. Sports teams of Georgia Tech are also called the Ramblin' Wreck. The fight song for Georgia Tech I'm a Rambling Wreck begins with the lyrics, "I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer."[11] The song is sung at sporting events, official school functions, and always at the end of every graduation ceremony.
[edit] To Hell With Georgia
- See also: Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate
Georgia Tech has an ongoing rivalry, mostly in sports, with the University of Georgia, often simply called "Georgia" for short. The rivalry is often called Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. An annual issue of the Institute newspaper, The Technique, focuses on this rivalry with an issue that spoofs The Red and Black, the newspaper of the University of Georgia.[12] As a dig at the rival school, the Technique will typically refer to it as "the University (sic) of Georgia" (sometimes shortened to "U(sic)GA") in articles.[12] "To Hell With Georgia" (abbreviated "THWUGA") is also known as "The good word." If one student asks the word from another ("What's the Good Word?"), the response is always "To Hell with Georgia!" If asked about the bulldogs ("How 'bout them Dawgs?"), an old tagline from the "University of Georgia" expression, the correct answer is, "Piss on 'em!"[13]
[edit] RAT Caps
Every year, a number of freshmen, most notably those in the marching band, wear gold caps known as RAT caps at each home football game.[citation needed] RAT is short for Recruit At Tech, although freshmen are sometimes addressed as RATS, or "Recently Acquired Tech Students."[14] The RAT caps are decorated with the football team's scores, the freshman's major, expected graduation date, and "To Hell With Georgia" emblazoned on the back of the cap.
The tradition began in 1915, and freshmen were required to wear the RAT caps everyday until the Thanksgiving Day game with UGA (if Georgia Tech won) or until end of the school year (if Georgia Tech lost). Freshmen caught not wearing the cap faced varying degrees of hazing, including having their hair shaved into the shape of a letter tee ("T"). Anti-hazing laws in the 1960s led to the virtual elimination of the tradition, although the use of RAT caps is still actively maintained by the marching band.
[edit] Junior's Grill
Junior's Grill is a restaurant located in East Campus next to Tech Tower. The restaurant was first opened in 1948 under the name Pilgrim's and was originally located on the corner of North Avenue and Techwood Drive. Its name changed to Junior's Grill in 1958, and it has moved locations twice since then. Junior's Grill moved to its current location in the Bradley Building in 1994 when it was forced out of its old location by the need to construct apartments for the 1996 Summer Olympics.[15] It is currently owned and run by Tommy Klemis.[16]
The restaurant is similar in nature to The Varsity but is perhaps more cherished by Tech students due to its higher quality food, its renowned chicken finger baskets, its superlatively friendly staff, its convenient on-campus location, and its fame as a Tech tradition.[16] The restaurant also houses pieces of Tech history including aerial photographs of campus from various years, assorted Georgia Tech memorabilia, portraits of prominent individuals in Tech's history, and a section of the goalpost from Tech's 1990 National Championship game in the Citrus Bowl.[15]
[edit] Budweiser Song
At every football game and every home basketball game, the fans of Georgia Tech perform an unusual dance at the end of the 3rd quarter in football and during the second to last television timeout of basketball.[17] The dance is a simple bobbing motion which alternates every other person and it is performed to the tune of an old Budweiser jingle. The Georgia Tech additional lyrics are as follows:
- Go Georgia Tech!
- Go Georgia Tech!
- Go Georgia Tech!
- When you say Bud...weiser, you've said it all!
The song originated as a more politically correct replacement for the playing of Dixie after the 3rd quarter in football games.[citation needed] The first version came about around 1967-1971 during Bud Carson's tenure as head football coach. The lyrics began as Bud Carson but changed back to Bud...weiser after Carson was fired.[citation needed]
The playing of the Budweiser Song came under attack in 1984 when the Stroh Brewery Company, a major sponsor for Georgia Tech at the time, heard about the frequent playing of the Budweiser Song. Stroh's made the band play their own Stroh's jingle instead. The band was attacked mercilessly by unhappy Budweiser bobbers who threw bottles, garbage, and even frisbees in to the band every time the Stroh's jingle was played. The band removed the jingle from their repertoire but was never allowed to officially play the Budweiser song ever again. Now, Buzz conducts the band as they unofficially play the song every football and home basketball game.[citation needed]
[edit] Homecoming
[edit] Mini 500
The Mini 500 is a tricycle race held during homecoming every year that requires teams to complete laps around Peters Parking Deck on East Campus.[18][19] Men must complete 15 laps while women must complete 10. There are mandatory pit stops in which the front tire must be rotated 3 times during the course of the race. Because the average racer weighs more than the average 5 year old, the car is allowed one support brace to be welded on to the frame.
The race traces its roots back to the early 1970s when fraternity pledges were forced to ride tricycles around campus as a form of hazing.[20] The race was eventually formalized and rules were instituted to make the Mini 500 an instant classic.
[edit] Wreck Parade
The Ramblin' Wreck Parade is a parade of classic cars and engineering oddities held before every homecoming football game. There are three classes of vehicles, which participate in the competition. The first class is known simply as classic cars and these are vehicles over a certain age limit. The second class is known as fixed bodies and these vehicles are normal cars, which have only been cosmetically modified retaining their original drive train. The third class is the contraption category and these vehicles feature drive trains completely fabricated by students ranging from pendulum propulsion to pulse jet engines.
The Wreck parade dates back to 1929 when The Technique began an "Old Ford Race" to Athens.[20] In 1932, the race was deemed unsafe by the administration so a parade of contraptions was created to subdue student protests.[20]
[edit] Freshman Cake Race
The Freshman Cake Race is a foot race from the Russ Chandler Stadium to Bobby Dodd Stadium that takes place before sunrise (about 6:00 am) on the morning of the homecoming game. This distance is about a one-half mile, so the crowd of several hundred participants engages in a mad sprint over the relatively short distance. The race runs through the middle of the campus's Greek sector and is often subject to tampering by fraternity students. The competitors are supposed to be freshmen (students with less than 30 hours of credit), and the race is split up by gender. The winners receive cakes baked by faculty, alumni, or students, and all participants receive cupcakes. The winners also receive a kiss from Mr. or Ms. Georgia Tech at the homecoming half-time show.
The race began as a cross-country race in 1911. In 1913, the winners received cakes from wives, mothers, and other women affiliated with Tech. The race was initially mandatory for all students.[20][21][22]
[edit] Spirit Organizations
[edit] Ramblin' Reck Club
The Ramblin' Reck Club was founded in 1930 as the Yellow Jacket Club to help bolster school spirit.[23] The club was renamed the Ramblin' Reck Club in 1945 and took full charge of mechanical and financial care of the Ramblin' Wreck in the 1970s. The Ramblin' Reck Club today oversees several homecoming traditions such as the Freshman Cake Race, the Mini 500, and the Wreck Parade.[24]
[edit] Georgia Tech Bands
The Georgia Tech Bands are student musical groups fielded at many of the home athletic events. None of the musicians receive scholarships for participating in the assorted bands meaning the bands are composed entirely of volunteers. Since several schools in Atlanta do not field football teams, the GT Band invites students from other Atlanta schools to participate (e.g. Kennesaw State, Georgia State, Agnes Scott, etc.).
Every home football game and most away games include a 300 member Georgia Tech marching band performing during dead ball time and half-time. The GT Bands also field smaller pep bands at home basketball, ice hockey, and volleyball games.
The bands are known to follow teams for special events such as bowl games and basketball tournaments. The ice hockey pep band in particular travels to Savannah every year for the Thrasher cup.
The band has some of the richest traditions on campus. Georgia Tech RAT caps are strictly enforced amongst first year band members, no matter their actual year in college. The band also maintains several unique songs, cheers, and rituals.[25]
[edit] Swarm
The Swarm is a spirit group of Georgia Tech fans found seated along the north end zone during home football games and on the court during basketball games. The Swarm was started by the Ramblin' Reck Club in 1998 to increase the amount of color uniformity in the stands. All Swarm members donate to the Alexander-Tharpe fund and are given gold t-shirts before every football and basketball season.[26]
[edit] Pi Mile Road Race
- Further information: 35th Annual Pi Mile Race, The Tyler Brown Pi Mile, and Honoring Tyler Brown
The Dean Griffin Pi Mile 5K Road Race is run annually in the Spring on the Georgia Tech campus. It is named after former Dean of Students, George C. Griffin, in honor of his tenure as a track and cross country coach.[27] The first race in 1973 was 3 miles long and was expanded to 3.14 miles in 1975—hence the Pi Mile.[27] In 2002, the race distance was slightly shortened to 5 kilometers, intendedly to attract more runners.[28] Another race tradition is the Ghost Run, where all the entrants sign up as George P. Burdell; participants pay the fee and get a t-shirt but do not have to run.[27][28]
Part of the race is run along the Tyler Brown Pi-Mile Trail, a 3.14-mile running course around well-lit areas of the Georgia Tech campus, designated with disc-shaped markers and maps along the way.[29] Tyler Brown was a former Student Government Association President who ran daily for ROTC and pushed heavily for a well-lit and safe running trail.[29] Tyler Brown was killed in action in Iraq on September 14, 2004. The trail was completed in December 2004 and was dedicated in his honor in April 2005.[29][30]
[edit] Legends
[edit] George P. Burdell
The legendary imaginary Tech student George P. Burdell who enrolled in 1927[31] is said to possess nearly every degree Georgia Tech offers, after many students took a variety of classes in his name. In 1927, a student, receiving 2 enrollment forms, also enrolled as George P. Burdell and attended as both names, so Burdell obtained a B.S. 1930, got a Master's, and in WWII, went to Harvard and joined the Army Air Forces.[31] Since the 1960s, some students have managed to re-enroll George P. Burdell in the Institute registrar's computers. When Tech switched to online class registration, Burdell took every course offered that term.[31] After initially vigorously searching for the hackers, the Institute has since accepted the presence of George P. Burdell in every year's class. George P. Burdell is also a common tool for pranks at various school events and games. He usually gets paged over the stadium public address system at away sporting events.[32]
[edit] The Cumberland Game
College football game with the largest margin of victory in history. In 1916, Georgia Tech's football team (coached by the legendary John Heisman — for whom the trophy is named) defeated Cumberland 222-0.[33] Cumberland's total net yardage was -28 (minus 28), and it had only one play for positive yards. Cumberland did not record a first down. Georgia Tech scored every time it got the ball;[33] although one page on Cumberland's web site says that Georgia Tech scored on every offensive play, the play-by-play posted on its site indicates otherwise.[33][34] Cumberland beat Georgia Tech's baseball team 22 to 0 the previous year, reportedly with the help of professional players Cumberland had hired as "ringers," an act which apparently infuriated Heisman.[33]
[edit] 41-38
41-38 is the score of two momentous victories by Georgia Tech over the University of Virginia in college football.[35]
In 1990, Virginia won its first seven games and raced out to a #1 ranking in both polls. Undefeated but unheralded Georgia Tech came into Scott Stadium in Charlottesville and beat the Hookies 41-38 on a last-second field goal by Scott Sisson.[35] This victory set off celebrations back in Atlanta that culminated in GT students breaking into Bobby Dodd Stadium, closed for the road game that weekend, and tearing down a goalpost (a common victory celebration when a game is played on one's home field). GT went on to be ACC champion and co-national champion with University of Colorado that year. Virginia's season spiraled downhill from there, going 1-3 to finish 8-4 and ranked only #22.[36]
In 1998, the first year since 1990 that both teams had come into this game with high hopes, #25 GT hosted undefeated #7 UVA, and again pulled off the upset. This time, the Jackets came from three touchdowns behind and survived a 54-yard field goal miss by UVA kicker Todd Braverman as time ran out.[35] Since then, any time the two teams have met with rankings and bowl positions on the line, GT fans have used "41-38" as a rallying cry, similar to Miami fans' "Wide Right" against Florida State.[37]
[edit] Sideways the Dog
Sideways (March 1, 1945 – August 14, 1947) was a black and white female terrier, who, after having been involved in a car accident, was forced to walk sideways.[38] She was a favorite of the students, and often slept in a different dorm room every night, being fed through the generosity of the student body and Brittain Dining Hall.[38] She would often wander into classes and sleep during boring lectures.
Sideways died after accidentally ingesting some rat poison in one of the dorm rooms, and is buried on the grounds near the southeast corner of Tech Tower.[38] A plaque marks her resting spot and briefly tells her story.[39] It reads, "Sideways. Ever faithful and true. Companion of student body of Ga. Tech."
[edit] Drownproofing
From 1940 to 1987, Tech offered a class called Drownproofing,[40] which was required for graduation for male students. The class was developed by Coach Fred Lanoue for the Naval School which was located at Georgia Tech prior to and during WWII. He taught students how to float in water for extended periods of time with ankles and wrists bound, how (unbound) to swim 50 yards (46 meters) underwater, and other water survival skills. At the time it was considered a prime example of the difficulty of Tech's curriculum, and referred to in jest by students as "Drowning 101."[41][42]
[edit] Anak Society
The Anak Society is said to be the only official secret society on campus. Since its founding in 1908, the ANAK Society has selected seniors who "exhibit a true love for Georgia Tech through their campus involvement and compassion for their fellow students," according to their website.[43] While members used to be publicly selected at the semi-annual IFC dances when they were "tapped" on the shoulder, membership in the Society has been secret since 1960. Only when members reach graduation are they publicly announced in The Technique.[43] Most of the work of the Society is conducted anonymously with members seeking no recognition for their service.[43] Anak claims to have had a hand in establishing The Technique,[44] The Blueprint,[44] the Student Government Association,[45] the Ramblin' Wreck Club,[44] and Tech's peaceful integration.[46] However, due to ANAK's secrecy, these claims cannot be easily verified.
[edit] Jargon
[edit] North Avenue Trade School
Georgia Tech is sometimes called the "North Avenue Trade School," although this was never its official title. The name stems from the fact that the campus is bordered to the south by North Avenue, and that the school in its earlier years was operated much like a trade school,[47] with students working part of the day in a machine shop, and the other part of the day in classrooms.[47] Today the name is still used in a humorous manner: the campus bookstore even sells shirts bearing the name "North Avenue Trade School."[48]
[edit] The Institute
Traditionally, Georgia Tech has been called "the Institute" while discouraging use of the terms "the university" or "the college" and such. The Institute had been divided into "Schools" which are now called "Colleges" for each field of study. For instance, when Georgia Tech's football team played the University of Miami for its 2006 Homecoming game, several students were seen wearing gold t-shirts that said "Fear the I!" (mocking Miami's tradition of being called the U).[49]
The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of only five Division I Bowl Subdivision football programs without "University" in the school's name. The others are the three service academies {the United States Air Force Academy (Air Force), the United States Military Academy (Army), and the United States Naval Academy (Navy) and Boston College.
[edit] Getting Shafted
"Getting shafted" generally refers to the rigorous academic difficulty of Georgia Tech's curriculum. The physical manifestation of this phrase is the Kessler Campanile, a "shaft-like" structure near the Student Center. The phallic shape of the structure invites its designation as a shafting device.[50]
[edit] Getting Out
"Getting out" refers to graduating from Georgia Tech. Graduates never say they graduated from Georgia Tech, they simply say "I got out."[51]
[edit] Ma Tech
An affectionate name that students and alumni alike use for their Alma Mater.[52]
