On Friday, September 8th Vassar held its annual serenading tradition. It’s a gentle form of hazing where seniors launch approved food items at groveling freshman while they, for the most part, sing back. It’s a harmless and joyous occasion.
A Vassar College employee (read: boxer) who belonged to neither side unfortunately got caught in the crossfire this year. While most are smart enough to steer clear of the craziness, one unlucky and impatient Vassar employee found herself trying to drive her car through a mob of singing freshman and squirting seniors. Someone launched onto her car, and she punched the guy. It was quite an event.
