This page is a document of the activities of various halls at Saratoga Springs.

Stefanism

Origin

Once, many moons ago, at SAR.06.2, there was an RA named Stefan. And he was awesome.

Many of the kids in Stefan's hall were in International Politics. In class, they watched the movie "Gandhi". They soon believed that Stefan was the reincarnation of Gandhi. (The original thought was that Stefan was the reincarnation of John Lennon, who was reincarnated from Gandhi, but due to conflicting birth and death dates, this could not be true. Pity.) The students believed that a religion should have been made around the G-man, but since society had missed the deadline, they decided to make a religion centered around the next best thing - Stefan.

• please do not confuse this Stefan with the new Stefan who has RAed in SAR.08 and SAR.09.

So a daily was held where many a CTYer gathered and formed this revolutionary religion, and thus, Stefanism was born. We even have Commandments!!!

Commandments of Stefanism

• Non-violence
• No discrimination to anything
• Be respectful to yourself & all other people/beings
• Be kitschy
• Thursday is a day of rest/shananery
• Use Ghandergy wisely (energy of Gandhi)
• Props to nature (props = give proper respect)
• Shall not take off lanyard except when thou showerest or thou sleepest (the words of Stefan himself)
• Cleanliness is next to Stefanliness
• Pray towards Seattle (Stefan's from Seattle.)
• Be forgiving to others and yourself
• No punishment, only enlightenment
• Live by your personal truths
• Use "doot" when appropriate (I think it's kinda like w00t, except with a certain "d"-ness quality to it. I'm not entirely sure.)
• Do not use Stefanism for your own personal gains

The Spartans

S.P.A.R.T.A.N.S (Super Popular Angry Rambunctious Tree Adoring Noodle Slurpers) were an infamous band of CTYers that reigned Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, Second Session, Jae Vick's Hall, July-August 2007. Summer of '07, they all attended Crafting the Essay B. They were the creators of many inside jokes, such as "Chamber of Secrets" and the nefarious chant, "MY HEART BELONGS TO CTY, IT WILL NEVER DIE" that was often heard echoing around camp. The speakers were as follows, in order per word: Christina Helm, Amanda Ho, Jarry Lee, Monica Burnett, Anca Dogaroiu, Pushpa Neppala, Haydn Welch, Annie Field, Laura Tims. They conquered most of CTY through many bloodthirsty acts of war, like singing "Be A Man" nonstop, and repeatedly mispronouncing the word "ethereal." They enjoyed terrorizing the ducks by the duck pond, barking at Julio, being moose, making fun of the Jesus/Snape-look-a-like nevermore Aidan Bonner, studying graham crackers, and finding sexual innuendo in Harry Potter. Several of them had a certain affinity for duct tape (but then again, so did everyone else). They will be back (except for Jarry Lee, who is a nomore). Be prepared.

Mack Sauce

Mack Sauce was the name for a hall at SAR.09.2 RAed by Cameron Mack, who is generally agreed upon to be the chillest guy in the world. He's one hell of an ultimate player, he drank tea all the time, he once died his hair pink, he climbs trees, and he has the coolest hat which he got on his way back from nirvana. The hall was made of kids in International Politics and Fast-paced High School Chemistry. The kids in The Mack Daddy's hall were Nate Cawley (red shirt kid), Dan Bateyko, Luke Tiner, Henry Chuang, Matt Simon (Sexual Chocolate), Ilya Makavoz, Mike Rogers, David Cho, Eric Zhang, Peter Lobel, Jordan Marion, Georgy Gellavashelli, George Kaplan (a commuter), Raymond Mead (Sweet Baby Ray), Curtis Lin, Matt Shortell, and the mysterious Jeffrey He. Jeffrey never showed up to CTY, but Mack Sauce nonetheless signed him up for activities, much to the confusion on unknowing RAs who would call his name for a good while. The hall was pretty tight, and made awesome by the awesome RA. Cam would often play guitar for us after lights out, saying that the "power of his shredding would sooth us to sleep". This was very true, and worked very effectively. You could go to him whenever need be, whether it be to buy a disc or drink a cup of tea. The hall was also responsible for the Don't Piss off the Ghosts non-incident, that will become a real incident when we do it next year. In conclusion, MACK SAUCE!!!!!!!!!
