Traditions

The BDE Performance

The Babson Dance Ensemble is recognized for its amazingly choreographed dances and awesome lighting. Shows consist of everything ranging from ballet to hip hop, with a large number of students performing in multiple dances. Their shows are usually very entertaining and are held once a semester, in the fall and the spring.

The Multicultural Festival

The festival consists of student organizations and clubs, most of who cook food and present it to the Babson public. In the past, this cultural gathering even consisted of a Kata performance by the martial arts club, and is open to other sports clubs on campus.

Mr. and Mrs. Babson Competitions

These typically friendly contests allow anyone to enter and try to obtain the Babson crown, and the large amount of money, which is the main prize. Students compete on the basis of their looks, smarts, and talents. This competition is usually held in the over-filled Knight Auditorium, and is one of the favorites among students.

The Scavenger Hunt

A team-based activity where teams of five compete against each other in hopes of getting all the items listed. These teams usually stay up for the whole night, trying to be the first ones to obtain the items. The first place prize for this game is over $1,000, so students are pretty serious about it. This game also requires at least one car, because students need to travel over 60 miles to get some of the items.

Casino Night

During Parents Weekend, students and parents are invited to spend an evening together. Babson sets up a bunch of tables with card games, roulette, and other fun activities. Wine is provided for those over 21, making this event even more fun and memorable than expected.

Greek Sing

Greek Sing is an annual event where Babson’s Greek organizations perform original song and dance routines to support a local charitable organization. Every March, the fraternities and sororities compete to raise money for a good cause and to see which Greek organizations can put on the best show.
