My favorite tradition is Red Shirt Orange Friday. While many college participate in this day, there is only one who can say they started it. Yep, you guessed it! Oklahoma State started RSOF many years ago as a way to show the pride we have in our country. It is a way to honor the heroes who have kept and are keeping our nation free!

At the moment, we're probably known for winning the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Next would be our mascot, Pistol Pete. We're also pretty well known for our Bedlam games with the University of Oklahoma. And then there's the Engineering program. Although I'm not an engineer, I know several people who are going into the field (the Honors dorm is full of them!), and many I've talked to have chosen Oklahoma State University specifically because of its great engineering program.

My school is best known for our beautiful campus and the Agriculture college. Our school prides itself in being absolutely beautiful. The reason we are also prided in agriculture studies is because we were origionally founded as Oklahoma A&M. So by priding ourselves in agriculture we maintain our campus.

I am finishing up my MBA at Southern Methodist University. The graduate program is best known for its elite business school. The professors are first class and bring an abundance of academic and industry specific experience to the classroom and genuinely enjoy instructing their respective discipline to their classes. The professors make themselves readily available and demand excellence out of each and every one of the students. Many of the top regional and national firms recruit recent graduates as well as alumni from SMU.
