Colgate 13: Culture and Traditions

Why is Colgate obsessed with the number 13? Well, the school was founded by 13 men with $13 and 13 prayers! Besides that tradition, Colgate culture is often described as work-hard/play-hard, and it's true! A rigorous academic reputation combines with an active student body to create weekends where you could spend your whole day in the library and your whole night at a frat!
