There are many pockets of quirkiness, it’s just not prevalent throughout campus. Interestingly, the two largest dorms are the ones with the reputation for the least quirkiness (Max P and South), while the smallest ones have the most (Snitchcock, Breckinridge).
Posing like a phoenix in front of a camera. It’s like planking, only UChicago specific, as the phoenix is our mascot. Bonus points for doing it at another college campus.

My sister did that after getting her acceptance to Chicago. This was recent, so apparently it’s still a thing.
