College is everything you make it. Southern’s eclectic traditions truly add to the excitement of being a jaguar. Attend all the Zydeco festivals and fall football games. The Dancing Dolls, who are truly iconic, radiate the atmosphere at Bayou Classic and the annual rivalry game against Jackson State.
Be kind and open to all your peers. As humans we tend to close ourselves off or feel intimidated by people who aren’t like us. In my experience, these are the same people who have opened my eyes to different world views which were extremely beneficial.
