Passionfruit is an early morning ritual that originated at Carlisle. It involves sitting outside in a circle and toasting with some sort of juice. The empress and emperor of passionfruit lead the ceremonies. Quite a while ago, the empress and emperor were referred to as the "juice coordinator", who would traditionally purchase a large amount of passionfruit juice for the whole circle. Then people realized the ineffectiveness of this and started to bring their own juice, soda, water, etc. to Passionfruit.

At Lancaster, juice is still purchased for the entire group by the Alcove. People donate money to help purchase the juice, though it is not mandatory.

What happens is that at 6 am in (for Lancaster) Hartman Green, a circle is formed with many drinks in the middle. The emperor says his speech, ends with "I love CTY and I love the Passionfruit" takes a drink, and passes it onward to the next nomore/nevermore. Then after all the nomores have gone, everyone else can say their speech with 1mores having priority.

It is also here that the position of Jester, the 42 duct tape cape, and the caution tape cape are passed on.
