Our Tradition–Pumpkin Parade
Eventually, Pumpkin Parade is taking place. I cannot remember how many times I was told the traditions of this college were fascinating, for there were too many. For a month, I am excited to wait for these events to happen and to be a witness, not just listener.
After attending the event, I think I now understand why Randy-Mac girls protested so hard last year. The strength of women can only be fully explored in an all women’s college. You can see that in their eyes, you can hear that in their voices, you can feel that in their spirits. I will change subject to “we” now, for I am one of them. We know we are not alone, for we have sisters. No matter if we know her, she is there, somewhere. Love each other and feel being loved.
Don’t say a woman’s college is conservative or ideological. Don’t ask if these women can survive after being thrown into the cruel world. These women are enthusiastic, intelligent, competitive and strong enough to meet challenges.
The tradition will not die out. No one will allow it to happen.
