Community Traditions

Finding community in college can be hard, but at Teal, we try to make it as easy as possible. From longstanding traditions to casual game nights, Teal has something for everyone. These community events give students a chance to socialize with other students that may not live on their floor! Every week of the semester, Teal Council will have a program for students to attend, have some fun, and spend time with friends while making some new ones. We also have fall and spring events in which we collaborate with other halls to allow the student to intermingle and make new friends from across campus!

Community Dinner 

Community Dinners embrace the culture of family at Teal. We have community dinners twice a month on Sunday evenings. These Dinners are one of the best ways for our students to build meaningful relationships with their peers.

Tri-College Tournament

Tri-College Tournament is an annual competition between Baylor’s three residential colleges. The tournament usually features volleyball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee in addition to an egg toss and tug-of-war. Our community has taken the trophy home a record eight times!

Cardboard Regatta

As one of the most anticipated events of the year, cardboard regatta features two-person boats, built only from cardboard and duct tape! Students race their handmade boats across the Brazos river at Baylor’s marina. Awards are given to the overall winner (or fastest team), best theme, most spirited, and the Titanic award (for best sinking).

Formal

Every year Teal residents get dressed up and enjoy one night of dancing and fellowship. Hosted at a local venue in Waco, this event is always a great time!
