Love Tape is the center of a Saratoga Springs (Skidmore) tradition.
On Second Tuesday, people get rolls of masking tape and stick tape on people they love, and share the tape to others who continue to stick love tape on their loved ones. People go back at the end of the day covered with tiny pieces of masking tape. Some go back wrapped up in masking tape. People may choose to write little messages on their love tape. A certain rock near Case Center was very much loved at SAR.06.1.
Every year, the nevermores start off Love Tape Day with masking tape handed to them from previous nevermores. At the end of Love Tape Day, they choose some kids who are coming back next year and give them the remaining tape so it can be used year after year. Unfortunately, at a recent Love Tape Day at SAR.06.2, many, many, many people brought masking tape, which is how the term "Tape Rape" came into existence. People were going back to their dorms at the end of the day looking like this:

Some, but not many, also began to stick duct tape on each other, calling it "Hate Tape."
Love tape has recently started emerged as a tradition for Carlisle First Session. It is traditionally held on the day after Drag Day, which precedes Goth Day. Everybody brings their own masking tape, distributing a little piece for those who have tape, and then a long strip of masking tape to the people who forgot to get some, so they may have the joy of distributing to others.
