Traditions

Tulane community gathers for Wave Goodbye party on campus
You can see representations of the deep-seated Tulane traditions all around campus. The Blarney Stone, Newcomb Oaks and Tiffany windows are just a few.

Our traditions aren’t just things you can see – you can experience them as well. You’ll shout the Hullabaloo cheer at Green Wave events and read the Hullabaloo newspaper. And you’ll wrap up your time at Tulane with one of the best Commencement ceremonies anywhere! In between you’ll see the Tulane Marching Band in Mardi Gras parades and enjoy Crawfest every year.

Some things you just can’t find outside of New Orleans, and only a school as unique as Tulane can measure up to the great qualities and characteristics of the city.
