As the school year starts, you're probably setting goals for the upcoming term - update your résumé, join a club, get straight A's, things like that. We've got another set of goals for you to strive for in the form of Drexel University (and Philadelphia) traditions you shouldn't miss while on campus.
Over your time at Drexel, connect with your peers and continue the traditions of Dragons that came before you. With more than one food-based tradition and a few traditions that purport to bring you academic success, this guide is good for you in more ways than one.
With this, you'll be burning through your bucket list of Dragon traditions in no time. Enjoy the ride!
