Traditions Baylor family members grow to expect certain events to take place year after year. Each tradition adds a certain flavor to the Baylor experience. Welcome Week, Parents, Weekend, All-University Sing and Diadeloso all have a unique impact on those involved. After four years of college, the activities are for the most part taken for granted. They become a way of life. Freshmen become aware of the Baylor traditions during their first week on campus. As they complete their education, they are able not only to take part in the activities, but to have an active part in their planning. Loyalty to the Alma Mater is a result of these deep-rooted traditions. Monkey costumes formed a humorous part of the Kappa Alpha Theta Sing act.
