Fort Friday is a East tradition which takes place on the second Friday. This tradition is a nice bonding time for roommates. The plan is, of course, to make a fort. On some occasions, a fort has been created in the common room rather than one's dorm room.

[edit] How to make a fort

  1. Remove mattresses from bed
  2. Turn the beds on their sides and place them across from each other
  3. Turn the mattresses on their sides and use those as the remaining two walls
  4. Place your sheets and blankets over the top to create a ceiling
  5. Remember to keep all four feet on the floor! (although that shouldn't be too hard)
  6. Keep the door closed, so that the RCs don't see you.

Of course this does not take place because its a fire safety hazard and the RCs don't like it. So, if you remember not to do it, it will not be lots of fun.
