St. Edward’s Hall is the oldest residence hall on campus and is named after the patron saint of University founder Fr. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., St. Edward the Confessor. With a mural painted by Luigi Gregori, the same artist who painted the murals of the Main Building and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, St. Edward’s is the only Notre Dame residence hall listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is also where Knute Rockne received his First Communion in 1925. In 1929 it became a mens doorm.

Spring Yacht Dance At the end of the spring semester, St. Ed’s hosts one of the university’s most highly anticipated
annual events, the St. Edward’s Yacht Dance. The ladies of Notre Dame and St. Mary’s vie all year long to be one of the lucky few asked to accompany a Stedsman to Chicago for an evening of fine dining and dancing. On the last day of classes the Gentlemen of St. Edward’s bus into Chicago with their dates for dinner on the town before heading to Navy Pier. There the duos are welcomed aboard the Mystic Blue for a cruise around Lake Michigan complete with music, dancing, and a breathtaking view of the nighttime Chicago skyline.
Founder’s Week Founder’s Week is
St. Edward’s week long celebration of the Founder of the University and first Rector of St. Edward’s Hall, Fr. Edward Sorin, C.S.C. The celebration is held in the fall and is a week that is packed with events that celebrate the dorm’s history.
Mom’s Weekend Held in the
Spring, Moms’ Weekend is an opportunity for the Gentlemen to honor and fete their moms as well as an opportunity for Sted’s moms to meet other moms, their son’s friends, and enjoy campus on a non-football weekend.
Paintball Trip In a Helm’s Deep redux, Stedsmen storm the castle as the
staff tries to hold out on the annual paintball trip. One of the most fun afternoons of the Spring, the dorm paintballing event is a great way to escape the barrage of homework... by taking on a barrage of paintballs. The Gentlemen of St. Ed’s head to a local paintball course to prove their marksmanship. St. Edward, ever the academic, doesn’t miss the opportunity to impart some wisdom either; the outing is accompanied by a short lecture from a distinguished speaker.
Mullets Against Malaria In 2013, at the
direction of the Hall President, Michael Murphy, the Vice Presidents, Patrick Krauss and Christian Verhamme, the Hall mobilized to undertake one the administration’s many campaign pledges: a campaign against malaria. That campaign continues on, raising thousands of dollars for Nothing But Nets, a charity that provides mosquito nets to those living in areas affected by malaria. By having their hair cut into that legendary 80’s hair style known as the “mullet,” Stedsmen proudly sport their unique coiffures on campus, drawing attention to the disease as well as raising funds for the charity. Only when the fund raising target has been reached do the mullets come off… and thankfully that has been sooner rather than later! Last year, under the direction of Parker Mathes, the Hall’s Mullet Against Malaria Commissioner, the Hall raised $6,657.97 for Nothing But Nets.

We are proud to continue producing the show, and this year the Otters will host the 128th Annual Sorin Talent Show. The production has grown considerably from its humble beginnings to now include lighting and a professional sound system. However, the show still appears on a simple stage on the front porch of Sorin College, as it did so many years ago. As it was then, so now do we present ourselves for the entertainment of the entire campus, to prepare them for the long winter months to come, and to welcome them as visitors into our surrogate home.
fundraising event honoring Kevin Healey, a former resident of Sorin College and a member the ND class of 2011. Kevin fought a courageous battle with cancer beginning in his senior year at Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, OH. He died on April 24, 2009 near the end of his sophomore year at Notre Dame. He will always be remembered for his whole-hearted involvement in the Notre Dame community and for his ever-present sense of humor. His brotters in Sorin honor his memory through an annual Kick-It kickball tournament, traditionally held right back out on Bond Quad, that raises funds for research to help cure pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers. The event is traditionally held within the first few months of the fall semester, and last year’s event was a huge success as it raised over $6,000!
winter 1888, Sorin hosted its first Talent Show. The men of Sorin reveled in the privacy afforded by their new single rooms – no matter that the hall was still under construction. These rooms were described as “large enough to encourage study, and at the same time small enough to discourage visiting.” However, something was lacking. As the prospect of deep snowfalls approached, the residents could sense the loneliness that awaited them as they labored diligently in their isolated rooms throughout the cold months. They found themselves in need of an outlet for some of their creative energy, and thus, decided to put on a variety show for the benefit of the entire school. Skits, jokes, and songs were learned, and a crude stage was erected on the front porch of the new hall. On a clear night in early October 1888, an audience gathered on what is now God Quad to enjoy an evening of frivolity.
of the Vietnam War, symbolically seceded from the University, renaming the residence “Sorin College”. Residents look to the name as a symbol of honor and unity, and it is one of the most sacred traditions that an Otter is to never refer to his residence as anything but what it truly is – Sorin College. Every year this event is celebrated in a week of fun and games.

In 1897, Badin Hall opened as St. Joseph’s Industrial School and functioned as such until 1917 when it became a Notre Dame men’s dorm and was officially named Badin Hall. Badin Hall is named after Father Badin, the man who built the orginal log cabin chapel on campus near St. Joseph Lake. Besides its rich history, Badin has many other unique features. Badin Hall is the only dorm on campus featuring a second story porch which is a big hit with residents as they often spend sunny days doing homework there. The porch has also been host to outdoor Acoustic Cafe sessions. Besides the porch, Badin also features a student-sculpted wooden frog on their staircase. This feature is the reason that their mascot is the bullfrog.

their “Pond” or large social space into a Christmas store filled with fair-trade items made by artisans in Nepal. Items sold include cashmere scarves, knit caps and headbands, felted items, totes and bags. All proceeds benefit relief work.
Bigs & Littles After Freshman Welcome Weekend, each first year student in Badin gets matched with a willing upperclassman known as “bigs” who serve as both friends and mentors to the growing “tadpoles.” About once a month, the bigs and littles meet for a group activity. Most often, bonds are formed that last well-beyond these monthly meetings.

Carroll’s Quirks and Traditions Built in 1906 as the scholasticate (house of studies) for the the Brothers of Holy Cross, Carroll Hall was purchased by the University and converted to a men’s residence hall in 1967. The hall is named after Charles Carroll of Carrollton, cousin of Bishop John Carroll and the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. When the Holy Cross brothers owned the building, St. Andre Bessette, C.S.C., the Congregation of Holy Cross’ first saint, called the hall home. The location of Carroll Hall on St. Mary’s Lake in addition to its small size contribute to the close knit community within the hall. Carroll was last named Men’s Hall of the Year in 2016-2017.

Signature Events Carroll Christmas Held on the first Friday of December, A Carroll Christmas is always one of Notre Dame’s premier signature events, and was the recipient of the award for Best Men’s Signature Event for the 2014-2015 school year. Events include lighting the giant Christmas tree, as well as performances from Halftime a Cappella and the Humor Artists. Other attractions have included a horse drawn carriage up and down Carroll Drive, luminaries lining the walkway, a basement dance party, and a giant “C” made out of Christmas lights that hangs from the front of Carroll. Lucky Carroll residents get to dress up as Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Santa’s elves, and take pictures with partygoers. Carroll Christmas attracts as many as 800-1000 students, so start shopping for the perfect ugly sweater, and keep an eye on the Carroll Christmas Countdown!

Every Friday afternoon before a home football game, you can find the men of Carroll hoisting up the huge banner that has become a staple of Notre Dame Football tradition.
Third Floor Abs Becoming a campus-
well-known and widely recognized of all dorm traditions. Each year, before the first football game of the season, first year residents of Carroll dye their hair gold in support of the football team. These “Golden Domes” are easily spotted both in the football stadium and from across the quad. It’s a great conversation starter, and easily answers the age-old question “What dorm are you from?”
wide phenomenon, Third Floor Abs started as a way for the men of Carroll Hall to build muscle and create washboards. The legendary Coach Carter revitalized the program with some more challenging workouts, and also added in a weekly visit to the third floor of another dorm on campus. Despite the name, Carroll residents from any floor are most welcome at the workouts on both Monday and Wednesday nights.

This past spring, the concert – which takes place right on the Carroll Lawn – featured various student bands, DJ Jhin, the Undertones (and our very own Erik Klaus), and even a touring professional band that added an extra tour stop to come play at Lakeside! Let loose and dance along to the music, or simply throw down a blanket, relax, and enjoy the afternoon. Despite being brand new in 2015, Lakeside was one of the most talked about signature events on campus, and it raised more than $1,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County.
a realistic outfit option, you can find the Vermin of Carroll Hall lighting up the barbecue and engaging in all manner of games on the Carroll Lawn every Friday afternoon. With the sun shining and a picturesque view of the Dome, there’s no better way for Carroll residents to bond during the beginning of the school year. Some of the greatest moments in Carroll are made during long volleyball sessions, and it is one of the most common and fun ways for the men of Carroll to relax after a long week. Grab your hot dog or hamburger and get ready to bump, set, and spike your way into Carroll Hall volleyball lore.

Built in 1924 and named after lay professor and future Indiana Supreme Court Justice, Timothy Edward Howard, Howard Hall was the first residence hall constructed in coordination with the location of two other halls to form the cornerstone of the South Quad. Originally built as a men’s residence hall, Howard was the first hall to incorporate Gothic architecture, featuring two arches as well as decorative stone carvings of students, animals, and a saint. The dorm was last renovated in 2015 so it currently boasts updated study spaces, laundry facilities, and student lounge. Howard Hall was last named Hall of the Year in 2011-2012.

Rector Highlight: A Note from Amanda Springstead Hi Ducks! My name is Amanda, and I have the distinct pleasure of being your Rector. I am a proud South Bend native and Notre Dame alumna. I studied Theology and Philosophy while at ND. I also hold a Masters in Leadership Development. Coming back to ND four years ago meant coming home. I lived for four years in the second best hall on campus (Welsh Fam) and loved every minute of it! Coming back to be Rector here in Howard has allowed me to get to know all of you and that is the greatest joy. I love working in the hall and integrating my love for theology and faith exploration with my passion for working in residential life. In addition to our Howard family, I am thankful to be close to my family here in South Bend. I have a niece and three nephews who you may see scampering through the halls or playing on the piano every so often. I also have a standard poodle named Lola who comes to visit Howard at least once a month! When she is here, I like to have you over for “Cookies with Lola” in my apartment. Beyond that, I love comedies, drinking tea, and hearing about the fun and exciting classes, clubs and activities you are involved with at Notre Dame! I look forward to what this year holds for each of us, and I am so happy that you are a part of the Howard family.

Opened in 1927 as a residence for 195 men, Lyons Hall was one of the first residence halls to incorporate the proximity of the lake in its design (thus, the picturesque views of St. Mary’s Lake through its archway). Dedicated in honor of Joseph Lyons, an English professor in the 1860s-1880s, Lyons was originally known as an Honors Hall and is the only residence hall shown in the movie Rudy which featured its iconic arch. Lyons was converted in 1974 to Notre Dame’s sixth residence hall for women. In the summer of 2013 Lyons Hall underwent a major renovation, adding air-conditioned lounges with kitchens on each floor and converting the annex from student rooms back into a Faculty-inResidence apartment. The Lyons ladies live by the motto of “Kindess, gentleness, self sacrifice.”

Rector Highlight: Sarah Heiman
Sarah Heiman became the rector of Lyons Hall in 2014. Originally from Chester, Nebraska, Sarah earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies and her Master of Divinity degree from Yale University. Prior to Notre Dame, Sarah served at Mercy Center, a retreat and conference center sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, where she developed and led programmatic offerings to help people of all ages connect with the Sacred in self, others, and creation. Before that, she served for four years at Sacred Heart University in Connecticut overseeing retreats and faith development and encouraging discipleship and student leadership.
“
Coming in Freshman year I was immediately overwhelmed by the community that existed in Lyons. I noticed that beyond section connections that were made, the entire hall had a bond that was evident. I made friends on every floor, which I think is a unique difference from the “section mentality” that exists in a lot of dorms. There is a joy that exists in Lyons that everyone is constantly invited to share in. We share each others victories and struggles because we truly believe that when one member of the community is lifted up we all are. Being a junior has also provided a really cool perspective in that I’ve gotten to see new relations form every year, but with the same Lyons community spirit.

When I first came to college, one of the things I missed most was having my sisters around. I love living in Lyons Hall though because the girls here quickly became like sisters to me. They are the people that help me decide what to wear in the morning and let me borrow clothes. They are the people that I share meals with and who I catch up with at the end of the day. I love the community in Lyons because it is like a family. We live together, study together, and pray together. This is more than a place to live. My dorm adds to my ND experience because the women living here help me grow.

A Note About Morrissey’s Quirks & Traditions
Black & Gold
We are not Morrissey Hall. We are not Morrissey House, Morrissey Dorm, or Morrissey College. We aren’t even Casa de Morrissey, Morrisseyland or the housing facility formerly known as Morrissey. We are Morrissey Manor. For those of you who don’t know, Webster’s Dictionary defines a manor as “a place inhabited by super masculine, madden-playing, lady-charming, cigar-smoking, convertible driving, football-throwing, steak-eating studs who dress like Sinatra and fight like Ali.” Morrissey’s storied tradition of breeding such manly men has earned us the right to call Morrissey a manor. In other words, we put the man in manor, and so do you. Morrissey’s size helps us to be a perennial powerhouse in all campus wide competitions, whether said competitions are in athletics, fund-raising, etc. At the same time, Morrissey never feels too big; you’ll know the majority of your fellow Manorites and great friendships will build Morrissey spirit.

The Medallion Hunt, Away Game Watch, Manor Madness Week
Built in 1925, the Manor stands proud with its iconic tower. Our location is prime as we are in the heart of South Quad--so close to South Dining Hall and The Rock. This is not to mention the majestic Manor quad right in front of the Manor, which is the stomping ground for some good old brotherhood activities such as the Manor Madness Week and S’Morrissey nights. Adjacent to Morrissey are the fine ladies of Howard and Lyons Hall, and directly behind the Manor is a beach volleyball court where we hang out during the warmer days of the year. The Manor is also positioned right by St. Mary’s Lake, home to the best sunsets on campus and many ducks. Within the Manor itself is a cozy and antique atmosphere conducive to fostering brotherhood. This atmosphere is enhanced by the famous Yaz’s. Named after Hall of Fame Boston Red Sox left-fielder, Carl Yastrzemski, the Manor’s restaurant sells the greatest junk food delicacies on campus. Throughout our 92-year history, we Manorites have brought home the coveted Hall of the Year award and numerous interhall sports championships that have culminated in the O’Leary Cup in the ‘06-’07 and ‘13-’14 school years. This is just a small testament to the quality of men that reside in the Manor, who live by our cornerstones of faith, scholarship, brotherhood, and service.

Rector Highlight: Zack Imfeld In Zack’s 5th grade yearbook at Thomas Edison Elementary in sunny Burbank, California, he wrote that his dream was to go to Notre Dame. After extensive formation and leadership in Student Government and Campus Ministry at two schools founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross, Notre Dame High School and the University of Portland, Zack’s dream came true when he came to serve as a postgrad intern in Campus Ministry at Notre Dame. After a fulfilling year at Our Lady’s University working with the Freshmen retreat program, small faith communities, and RCIA, Zack knew he wanted to grow deeper in ministerial leadership and joined the Master of Divinity program at Notre Dame. In the MDiv, Zack was given the necessary academic, human, spiritual, and pastoral formation in different settings to prepare him for a life of ministry. Beyond ministering to college students, Zack loves all sports, especially Portland Timbers soccer and Cincinnati Reds baseball, grilling, leading retreats and pilgrimages, traveling, and spending time with people dear to him.
Signature Events Manorball Manorball is Morrissey’s newest addition to the lineup of traditions and events. This quad game combines elements of team handball and KanJam. With 4 or more players per team, Manorites work together to move a Spikeball toward two KanJam buckets and can either shoot or deflect the ball in for a score. This game is specifically designed to fit the natural boundaries within Manor Quad.
Manor Madness Week Manor Madness week is a full
week of brotherhood and the best meat on campus. A signature mainstay of Manor Madness WeekManorites participate in the coveted mattress race, which involves sections competing to run a mattress with someone on top all the way down South Quad. Along with this, there is a hot dog eating contest, the shopping cart races, burgers and brats galore, and plenty of other fun activities.
S’Morrissey Mass Every Wednesday night, Morrissey holds a Mass that concludes with a large amount of S’mores for all of those who attended.
Christmas Formal Morrissey hosts a Christmas Formal
before classes let out for Christmas break. As part of preparation, dates are hand-delivered special invitations to their doors, and each section in Morrissey competes to decorate their respective section with wrapping paper, lights, and any other Christmas decorations.
Medalllion Hunt Each year Morrissey Manor puts on a
campus-wide scavenger hunt. Clues and riddles are released daily for one week, all hinting at the location of a Manor Medallion hidden somewhere on campus. The person who finds the Medallion gets $300 of flex points. Notre Dame students look forward to this event every year—join the fun.

Alumni’s Quirks and Traditions Constructed in 1931, Alumni Hall originally served as the border for the south edge of campus. When it first opened, Alumni Hall served visiting alumni and was named to honor the loyalty of all alumni. To date, it is the only residence hall on campus not named for a person or family. Alumni Hall is recognized for its unique architecture and artwork, including gargoyles and intricate stone carvings. Notable art features include the Madonna and Child, Saint Thomas Aquinas and Saint Boneventure, Knute Rockne, and Clashmore Mike, the original Irish terrier mascot of the Irish. In honor of this original mascot, Alumni Hall’s mascot is the “Dawgs.” The dorm is the only dorm which boasts Greek letters above its door and their letters, DeltaOmega-Gamma, spell out their mascot name. The Alumni rector, Rev. George Rozum, C.S.C., has served as the hall’s rector since 1978 and is the longest serving rector in Notre Dame’s history.

Rector Highlight: Rev. George Rozum, C.S.C Rev. George Rozum, a Holy Cross priest ordained in 1968, became rector of Alumni Hall in 1978. Father George received his bachelor degree in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, an M.A. in Theology from Holy Cross College of Washington, D.C., and an M.S.A. from the University of Notre Dame. Prior to coming to Alumni Hall, he served as an associate pastor of St. Ignatius, Martyr, Parish in Austin, Texas, where he also served as chaplain to the Texas State School for the Deaf. Father George holds a National Certificate for Teaching the Deaf from the University of Texas, Austin.
Signature Events Five Dollar Formal One of the best SYR themes on
campus, this event requires that attendees put together their outfits using only $5. Many people take the money to thrift stores or craft places in order to find the best kinds of pieces. The final outfits are always entertaining to see and make the dance that much better!
Football Saturday Mass A popular event for guests on
campus for game days, Alumni Hall is one of a few places on campus where mass can be attended a half hour following the football game. St. Charles Borromeo Chapel becomes full of fans who join together to celebrate mass alongside the celebration of wins or sadness over losses of the Notre Dame football team.
Wake Week As with many dorms on campus, Alumni
men have a week of celebrating their dorm pride. This week was meant to mimic traditional Irish wakes with late night gatherings. It is a week steeped in tradition, one that Dawgs wait for with bated breath like a child on Christmas morning. Wake Week, a week “shrouded in mystery” for freshmen Dawgs culminates in Fr. George swearing in the new Alumni President by knighting him with a silver sword (some of the younger alumni may remember Fr. George being hoisted around in a coffin). Wake week is one occasion when the Greek neon letters that decorate Alumni’s door are illuminated.

Signature Events Big Red Bag Charity The Red Bag Charity is an organization actually founded
by Dillonite Michael McCroskey as a way to serve people struggling with homelessness in South Bend. The organization sells red bags full of supplies for $5 that can be easily packaged up and given out to anyone in need. During the year, Dillon residents pack up 100 red drawstring bags full of cliff bars, water, trail mix, and other essentials, along with a personal handwritten note. These bags are then taken to people in South Bend, allowing the Dillon residents to talk to the people they are helping. All of the remaining bags are taken to the South Bend Center for the Homeless.
Stache Bash As part of their SYR tradition, Dillon residents grow out their
facial hair for weeks prior to the dance. They, and their dates, spend the night of the SYR bowling. It is widely considered one of the most fun nights of the year for Dillon residents.
Opening Day Commencing the start of Spring and major league baseball,
Opening Day is both a whiffle ball tournament between all of the dorm sections of Dillon as well as a carnival-style cookout open to the entire campus which includes lots of food, yard games, a mechanical bull, sumo wrestling suits, a dunk tank, music, and more.
Big Red White and Blue Christmas We invite all of campus to come help us
package up over $2k of supplies and handwritten notes into care packages to be sent overseas to members of our armed forces in conjunction with Operation Shoebox.

My first and closest friends are from Dillon. From my time as a freshman surrounded by older students to my current year a s a senior, there has always been an uplifting sense of community that only makes people better.

Built in 1937, Zahm Hall is currently home to 177 men, who proudly refer to themselves the “Zahmbies.” Zahm is named for Father John Augustine Zahm, CSC, a 1871 graduate of Notre Dame who as a scientist, Dante scholar, and international explorer was the renaissance man of his day. His efforts as Vice President of Notre Dame and later as Provincial of the Indiana Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross helped lay the groundwork for the modern research university Notre Dame is today. Zahm Hall is especially known for its tight-knit community and deep commitment to community service. Residents volunteer across an array of local service opportunities, and sponsor a spring carnival each year for the children of South Bend. Even the profits from ZA – the pizza parlor in the basement - are donated to a variety of Zahm sponsored causes. Famous past residents include Regis Philbin who occasionally even visits his old room when he’s on campus.

Signature Events Brother-Sister Week There are few relationships on campus that run
as deep as the Zahm-Cavanaugh relationship as brother-sister dorms. While most dorms frequently rotate who their brother or sister dorms are, Zahm and Cav have the longest record of being siblings which is celebrated each year in a week of community building events.
Decade Dance Dress up like your favorite decade - whether that means
wearing jean-on-jean like its the 90s or a toga like its 900BC. This SYR is sure to be a good time!
“Here Come the Irish” Banner Often a backdrop of game day photos, this
huge banner decks the side of Zahm. Each game weekend it is hung up and celebrated with a cookout.
Spring Carnival Although Zahm has a reputation for being too social,
they never miss a chance to help out when they can. Each spring, the Zahmbies throw a carnival on campus with a petting zoo, inflatables, and carnvial food with all the proceeds going to South Bend children.
Independence Day On March 29, 2007, the Notre Dame Student Senate finally passed a resolution originally proposed by Zahm veteran Pat Knapp and championed by Zahm senator Luke Derheimer to officially recognize Zahm Hall as “Zahm House,” a name applied to Zahm since 2003. March 29th is now celebrated as “Zahm Independence Day” with a re-enactment of the Revolutionary War on North Quad with water balloons, with freshmen acting as the British (administrators) and upperclassmen overwhelming them as Americans (residents of Zahm).
“
I couldn’t be prouder to be a member of the Zahm community, and I can’t imagine living in another dorm. Zahm House till I die.

Zahm will always be a part of me. ND by choice, Zahm by the grace of God.

Originally constructed as a men’s residence Hall in 1939, BreenPhillips Hall was named after its benefactors, alumni and brothers-inlaw William P. Breen and Frank B. Phillips. It is the only hall with a hyphenated name. During World War II, this hall served as a home for naval officers in training. At one point, the athletic department, including the office of then head football coach Frank Leahy, was located in the basement of Breen-Phillips Hall. In 2014, in recognition of the 75th anniversary of its founding, Pope Francis imparted his Apostolic Blessing on the residents of Breen-Phillips. Breen-Phillips was numbered among the early women’s residences established after the University began admitting women. Residents boast of its convenient location on campus and its structure lends itself to facilitating getting to know each other. Famous alums include retired astronaut James Wetherbee (1974), a veteran of six space flights.

Past years have seen everything from giant pirate ships to floundering Styrofoam rafts to floating basketball courts.The Regatta draws over a thousand participants and spectators, and free hamburgers, brats, and hot dogs are available all day. Ranked as one of ESPN’s Top 100 college events, YOU GOTTA REGATTA!!!
St. Adalbert’s Charity is a central part of life in Fisher Hall. Every year,
residents commit themselves to making a difference, whether that be on campus, at home, or around the world. In recent years, Fishermen have worked to help St. Adalbert’s School in South Bend, a partnership that has greatly benefited both parties. Over the past 2 years, the hall has raised $12,000 for the school to refurbish their gym and hospitality room. This year, Fisher hopes to raise the $8,000 necessary to construct the school’s first Science Lab.
Fisher Funk This SYR theme allows everyone to embrace their inner hippie and travel back in time to the 70s. Apparel is usually from a thrift store and many Fishermen grow mullets or mustaches to complete their looks. The night is then spent bowling.

Signature Events Keenan Revue The Keenan Revue is Keenan Hall’s
signature event. Touting a tradition of over forty years, the popular skit show highlights and pokes fun at important social and political issues of the day through satire, music, and humor. While at times controversial, the Revue often sets campus culture by raising important questions about roles in society and campus stereotypes. The show has gained a massive campus following and has captured the title of being the most popular dorm event on campus, with an attendance of nearly 1,500 guests per performance over three days. In addition to being an entertainment event, the Revue serves as a massive fundraiser for Keenan’s charity of choice, Dismas House.
Dismas House Every Monday evening, a group of Keenan
men volunteer to work at Dismas House, an organization that provides transitional accommodations for exoffenders who have recently been released from prison. Following a tradition of two decades, the residents of Keenan Hall serve in loving partnership with the men and women unfortunate enough to have been caught up in the vicious cycle of crime.
Muddy Sunday In the spring semester, Keenan Hall hosts
a campus-wide volleyball exhibition tourney at White Fields, behind Moreau Seminary (pictured right). The tournament typically consists of around 150 teams each composed of around 8-10 people. All proceeds made from the event are donated to the Habitat for Humanity.
The Great Pumpkin Around Halloween, the renowned
Keenan basement (dubbed the Keenan Kommons by its residents) is transformed into a haunted house for underprivileged children in and around the South Bend community to explore. Residents provide treats and entertainment to the children, carving pumpkins and playing games in a safe and wholesome environment.

as Disco Roll - a 70s themed romp that takes place on wheels at a local roller-skating rink in the Michiana area. Attendees drape themselves in colorful disco attire, and have a blast from the past, singing along to funky tunes from groovier times.

Established in 1981, Pasquerilla East is one of two residence halls made possible by the generosity of Frank and Sylvia Pasquerilla. Constructed with the specific intention of housing female undergraduate residents, both Pasquerilla East and Pasquerilla West were built with the provision that Pasquerilla’s twin daughters would each occupy one hall their senior year. At the time, their donation was the largest in Notre Dame history to be given by a living person. To further its relationship to its sister residence hall, PE’s four floors are numbered five through eight. PE annually hosts the Silent Night Silent Auction and So You Think You Can Sync? Lip Sync Battle in which all proceeds go to a local charity. Pasquerilla East was last named Hall of the Year in 2015-2016.

I love living in PE because when you come home it’s really your home.
PE is home. PE is where I can always find a familiar face, where I bake cookies at midnight, where I have dance party study breaks, and where I have met lifelong friends to share these moments with.
Hiba Kahouli, ‘17 I love PE because of THE COMMUNITY. I’ve been blessed to have amazing friends at PE that build up my Notre Dame family. They’re the girls I share life with; they encourage me spiritually, emotionally, and mentally to grow and be the best woman I can be.
PE is unique in that we are a STEM dorm, it’s super helpful to have girls who have taken or are taking the classes you are in. It creates study groups right inside our hall which is really cool!

Rector Highlight: Margaret Smith Margaret “Mamie” Smith became rector of Pasquerilla East Hall in 2014. Originally from Watertown, Wisconsin, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Theology from Marquette University and her Master of Divinity degree from the University of Notre Dame. Before college, Mamie did a year of service with NET Ministries, in which she traveled to parishes and schools across the country as a member of a traveling retreat team. After Marquette, Mamie worked with autistic children in Milwaukee and taught English in Daegu, South Korea. While in graduate school, Mamie served as an assistant rector in Howard Hall. She enjoys making music, cooking, and hiking. In reflecting on her experience serving in Residential Life at Notre Dame and her future ministry as Rector, Mamie said: “As an Assistant Rector, I immediately noticed that there was something special about the residence life system at Notre Dame. The Holy Cross ideal of creating a family within the hall resonated with my own experiences of growing up in a large family and taking part in several intentional communities. I’ve always been fascinated by what makes (or breaks) communities, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead and inspire the women of Notre Dame to make our community a place that fosters healing, hope, and joy.” Dunne Hall Flaherty Hall

determine who will represent Notre Dame as Miss ND. One member from each female dorm on campus can enter into the competition. The competition involves two main portions. The first is the talent portion and the second is the question/answer portion. In order to fill in the time between pageant portions, the men of O’Neill come up with various skits to keep the crowd into the show.
Rector Highlight: Rv. Chris Rehagen, C.S.C. Originally from Jefferson City, MO, Rev. Christopher Rehagen, C.S.C., was ordained as a Holy Cross priest in 2015. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 with a degree in Finance and Economics (and a minor in Theology!) and entered formation in the Congregation of Holy Cross the following year. While in formation, he earned a Master of Divinity degree from Notre Dame in 2014 and served in a variety of ministries, including hospital chaplaincy, campus ministry, parish work, and direct service to the poor. Most recently, he spent the last two years as a Deacon and then Parochial Vicar at Christ the King Parish in South Bend, IN. In his free time, Fr. Chris enjoys playing sports and board games, reading, spending time with family and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals. Although this may not make him popular with the large number of Chicago Cubs fans at Notre Dame, he is hoping for another World Series win this year.

Rector Highlight: A Note from Allyse Gruslin
Hey ‘Cats! I grew up in Pawtucket, RI, a town with huge baseball culture. Pawtucket is home to the farm team for the Red Sox (the PawSox), so I’m a big Red Sox fan but don’t ask me about stats or standings. I also played baseball for an all girls town baseball league when I was little. Rhode Island is the “Ocean State” because we have lots of coastline per square mile so I love all things ocean/coastal. Growing up I was a competitive cheerleader which I credit for my consistent upbeat attitude and inability to stop smiling. Old habits die hard. My parents and my older sister still live out east and they call me “the one who moved away.” I am very close with my family and was especially close with my grandma or “Memere.” I was born on her birthday (so obvi I was her favorite :). In high school I did everything I could to be involved: volleyball, swimming, student government and campus ministry. Singing is probably my favorite thing to do. I didn’t make my Confirmation in high school like most Catholics do because I wasn’t sure I wanted to be Catholic. I explored my faith through high school and college and eventually made my Confirmation after discovering a deep love for the Eucharist. I studied Philosophy and Business at Assumption College in Worcester, MA (Brian Kelly’s alma mater)! After Assumption I did a year of service at a youth retreat center followed by four years on Long Island at a campus minister at Holy Trinity High School as well as a partner for a traveling retreat business. I came to Notre Dame’s Master of Divinity program in the fall of 2013. During the program I met my now fiance, Chris, who you will likely see around the hall on Waffle Wednesdays. He has a corgi named Topper who will hopefully provide comfort to the women of Ryan Hall during high stress periods like midterms and finals. I am so excited to be here in Ryan as your rector. It is an honor and a privilege. Know that I pray for you every day and my door is always open (maybe not literally but definitely in my heart).

There’s no better way for Sentinels to bond than on the slopes, whether you’re flawlessly executing that triple corkscrew or slowly scooting your way down the bunny hill.
Feast of Bl. Basil Moreau The Feast is a celebration of the patron of
Dunne’s chapel, Blessed Basil Moreau, who is also the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, the founding order of Notre Dame. The Dunne residents begin with Mass in the Basilica and then move to a medieval style long-table formal dinner with guest speakers. For Dunne’s first Feast, the hall’s benefactor, Mr. Jimmy Dunne, and his four college roommates were invited to speak to the first group of Sentinels to take up residence in Dunne Hall. The gift for the hall was given in gratitude for the friendship these men formed through Notre Dame’s dorm system.

I graduated with a BA from Notre Dame in English, an MA in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education from the University of Colorado, and a postMasters in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Denver. As the Rector of Flaherty Hall I wear many different hats: making sure the building is in working order, holding people accountable for their actions and inviting them to growth, to sharing life with an amazing group of dedicated and talented women. My advice to you is simple, be open to your surroundings, your classmates, your dorm mates, and your new roommate. College is one of the best times of your life!

My favorite thing about Flaherty is it’s community. I have loved being a part of this dorm the most here at Notre Dame. It’s the people that I’ve been able to run to for encouragement, support, and friendship, nd I couldn’t be more grateful to feel loved by a community that continues to grow in every way possible.

Dog Book: The freshman register with the names and photos of the entire freshman class. Often used to find last minute date for SYR or … well really that’s all it’s used for. With the advent of Facebook this book has been used even less, although it is fun to pull it out and see what people looked like in high school.
Domer Dictionary After a few days at Notre Dame, you’ll soon become aware that Notre Dame is a unique place. In fact, Notre Dame students even have their own vocabulary. Although you may be confused at first, in no time you’ll know exactly what is meant when a student says that “He’s on his way from MCOB to LaFun to get some quarter dogs” or that “She’ll meet you at Stonehenge before the SYR.” Don’t worry, you’ll figure it out soon enough….but just in case you’re curious here’s a brief compilation of some of the vocabulary used at ND. Acoustic Café: Event Thursday nights in LaFortune Student Center or Legends of Notre Dame often frequented by students in need of a study break. The café is a great place for students to display their musical talents (or lack thereof).

What though the odds be great or small Old Notre Dame will win over all, While her loyal sons are marching Onward to victory. Notre Dame, Our Mother (Alma Mater)
As one final unifying act before leaving the stadium after a football game, students both past and present join arms and sway to the Alma Mater. Like the Fight Song, the Alma Mater will serve as an eternal reminder of your time spent at the University of Notre Dame.
Notre Dame, our Mother Tender, strong, and true Proudly in thy heavens, Gleams thy gold and blue. Glory’s mantle cloaks thee Golden is they fame, And our hearts forever, Praise thee Notre Dame, And our hearts forever, Love thee Notre Dame.
