Cross-dress Day

Cross-dress Day, known as Drag Day at some sites, is a set day that occurs once per session on which it is traditional for students (and sometimes RAs) to cross-dress. It occurs on different days at different sites, and is often associated with The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Normally, students exchange clothes with a friend of the opposite gender, although some bring their own clothing.

Recently, some sites have been trying to put an end to cross-dress day, usually resulting in protests.
