Hallmarks and Quirks

Computer Science. Or should I say, "01100011 01101111 01101101 01110000 01110011 01100011 01101001."
Extreme couponing. Well, not exactly, but The Princeton Review called me a Best Value private college.
Churning out scholarship winners. If you get out of here without bringing in some cash, you're doing something wrong.

A car. I'm in oil country, and while campus is walkable, Tulsa isn't.
An empty suitcase for all the free T-shirts handed out by the Student Association throughout the year. Let me put it this way: if you see a golf cart, flag or chase it down. Chances are you will be rewarded with wonderful loot.
A computer, for the epic LAN parties that folks set up in the residence hall lounges.
A Frisbee. Ultimate, anyone?
A student ID. It gets me into nearly any campus event for free.

Two words: frat party. Don't worry—you don't have to be in a frat. Just flash your student ID at the door and smile. A toga wouldn't hurt either.

ACAC, a.k.a. the Allen Chapman Activity Center. Say "ack-ack," never "ay-cee-ay-cee." Or you'll never be cool again.
Take your pick: one of the Greek houses or your religious organization of choice.
Collins Center for pumping iron, challenging intramural foes to showdowns, and catching up on TV shows on the treadmills.

TU started out as the Presbyterian School for Native American girls in what was then Native American territory. Far and Away provides some great background information on Oklahoma's wild history.
You can borrow a rubber chicken at the equipment checkout in the campus fitness center.
The Toilet Bowl, a campus flag football tournament, is a tradition older than the Super Bowl. The trophy is none other than…you guessed it: a toilet seat.
