Here Are 14 Things That Every Iowa-Stater Can Relate To

Campaniling, probably the most famous Iowa State tradition, is where you kiss your significant other under the campanile, therefor making your relationship official. If you're into that kind of thing, you can try mass campaniling, which is held every year.

Any time you walk into the Memorial Union, you will see students herding around the Zodiac while professors and other non-students walk carelessly right over it.

Iowa State is notorious for its hauntings, even being named the 5th most haunted campus in the Midwest. There are friendly ghosts, like that of C.Y. Stephens, who haunts Stephens auditorium, or the ghosts of Farm House museum, who open curtains and move silverware. But there are also more sinister ghosts on campus, like the spirit or spirits that haunt Friley Hall. Many students who are unlucky enough to live in the supposedly haunted room report hearing their name being said, feeling cold spots, and even report being visited by the malicious ghost of a former resident.
