KNOW YOUR TRADITIONS

Traditions

Frontier Fiesta was founded in 1939. The event was discontinued during World War II and resumed in 1947 through 1959. The current Frontier Fiesta was reestablished in 1991 and continues today. In the 1950s, the event attracted up to 200,000 visitors and was dubbed the “Greatest College Show on Earth” by LIFE magazine. Despite many challenges and changes in venue over the years, Frontier Fiesta continues to be a cherished tradition at the University of Houston. The talent and leadership ability of its students, the opportunity to educate Houston’s future leaders, and providing scholarship opportunities for deserving students are just a few ways that Fiesta gives back.

Scholarships

Every year, the Frontier Fiesta Association gives scholarships to deserving incoming freshman and current UH students. These scholarships not only reward academic achievement, but also recognize outstanding efforts in community service. Forms and scholarship information are online at www.uh.edu/fiesta.

Mr. & Mrs. Fiesta

The Mr. and Ms. Fiesta competition is a fundraiser benefiting the scholarships awarded by the Frontier Fiesta Association. Each year Frontier Fiesta awards scholarships to incoming freshman based not only on academic and community achievements, but also recognizes outstand-

ing efforts in leadership. The male and female candidates who raise the most money for the community will be crowned with the title of Mr. and Ms. Fiesta. Mr. and Ms. Fiesta attend a ribbon cutting ceremony, which opens Fiesta City to the UH Community, and serve as honorary judges for the Cook-Off competition. Applications and information can be found at www.uh.edu/fiesta and through Frontier Fiesta social media.

Cook-Off

The Cook–Off is the largest source of community participation at Frontier Fiesta. More than forty teams from alumni associations and outside organizations come to compete in the six categories of pinto beans, beef brisket, chicken, chili, fajitas and pork ribs. Trophies are awarded to the first, second and third place of each category, and in addition to a trophy, for the brisket category, a $1,000 cash prize is awarded for first place, $600 cash prize for second place and $400 cash prize for third place. Trophies and cash prizes are awarded at a ceremony held on the last night of Fiesta. Cook off rules, regulations and forms are at www.uh.edu/fiesta.

COUGAR SPIRIT 101 Hand sign When you’re at the new stadium cheering on the football team this season, don’t look around wondering why your peers are throwing up an unkown sign. Know that in 1953 when live mascot Shasta I lost a toe in her cage door as she was being transported to a UT game, the Longhorns mocked her injury and UH students later adopted it as a symbol of pride

Fight song Cougars fight for dear old U of H For our Alma Mater cheer. Fight for Houston University For victory is near. When the going gets so rough and tough We never worry ‘cause we got the stuff. So fight, fight for red and white And we will go to victory. Lyrics Forest Fountain

8/8/14

When you wake up and get dressed on Fridays, avoid being the only one not wearing red. It is not just a tradition on this campus, but it’s a symbol of unity to sport the University’s scarlet. People across Houston know it’s Friday when they see you wearing Cougar Red.

Alma mater All hail to thee, Our Houston University. Our hearts fill with gladness When we think of thee. We’ll always adore thee Dear old varsity. And to thy memory cherished, True we’ll ever be.
