so lame. these guys were primarily nerds. the only swimmer i hung out with secretly drank malt liquor in his room so that his sea monkey teammates wouldn't discover it. not even sure i ever went to one of these parties. it's from a sports illustrated story about wacky traditions.

Kenyon: Shock Your Mama Party

The Kenyon men's swim team has won 26 straight Division III national titles while the women have won 20 of the last 22. To achieve such dominance the teams abstain from alcohol during the season. "But once we're done, it's a whole different story," says senior Will Wakefield. The team throws a costume party called Shock Your Mama, where the drinks are plentiful and the clothing is sparse. At one SYM, one female wore only pages of a Kenyon admissions book. Another showed up in Saran Wrap while a guy in a priest costume handed out condoms. One attendee was asked to leave last year when he insisted on wearing his boxers around his head rather than his waist.
