3 | 11/4/2021 16:08:10 | 2022 | Cadavers | cause mischief, but also support other members of the student body (i.e. bringing pizza to the science library during exam weeks) | it can be very fun to keep secrets | ||||||
4 | 11/4/2021 16:16:19 | 2022 | Cadavers | terrorize the sorority houses, draw skulls on walls, have secret underground tunnels, not so secret library and science center rooms | frat boys enjoying one another's company? more w&l exclusivity/elitism? | ||||||

10 | 11/4/2021 17:51:09 | 2022 | Cadaver and I am under the impression there is one lesser known entity. | Cadaver's are a relatively friendly folk tale/urban legend on campus. There is rumor they'll pay off med school to the student that unmasks them or they will provide pizza to students during stressful exam season. | It seems that they are an untouchable,/elite group that are an essential part of the W&L (or any institutions') tradition. | ||||||
11 | 11/4/2021 23:15:11 | 2022 | Cadavers, Elixirs | Nothing. Cadavers scare people and run around. Elixirs walk around in one color and have fanny packs with top tier stuff in them. | Exclusivity | ||||||
12 | 11/5/2021 12:10:24 | 2022 | The Cadaver Society | Revel in their all-white, all-male exclusivity and cause chaos at night on campus. | To feel exclusive and important in a group that unites people together under a common value/cause/goal, but in such a way that no one knows who is a part of that group. | ||||||

15 | 11/6/2021 14:35:44 | 2022 | NA | NA | Another way for certain students to separate themselves from the rest of the community and create arbitrary hierarchies. But I don't really know | ||||||
16 | 11/6/2021 14:38:58 | 2022 | Cadavars | They recruit pre-med male students who will go around campus and tag buildings with the cadavar symbol and sometimes give out free pizza. If someone can catch a cadavar, they will pay for your tuition | unsure | ||||||

20 | 11/4/2021 16:29:04 | 2023 | Cadavers, elixirs, sigmas, Skulls | In my opinion most of them add another layer to Greek life. The cadavers I don’t know too much much of why they do besides leaving their mark around campus random nights. | Secrecy and selectivity | ||||||
21 | 11/4/2021 16:30:26 | 2023 | Cadavers, elixirs, sigmas, minks | Drink | Drink and make you give money | ||||||
22 | 11/4/2021 16:30:30 | 2023 | Cadavers | Honestly, no clue. I've heard they're med students? | To share an ideology | ||||||
23 | 11/4/2021 16:33:31 | 2023 | Cadavers | Not really sure | Not really sure | ||||||
24 | 11/4/2021 16:47:05 | 2023 | Cadavers | Stand outside my window looking creepy | I guess Greek Life wasn't exclusive enough for them | ||||||
25 | 11/4/2021 18:39:57 | 2023 | Cadaver | IDK | Not sure | ||||||

31 | 11/4/2021 18:05:34 | 2024 | Cadavers | Terrify people at night and pay a bunch of money if you unmask them. | To be exclusive and have legend status, almost like a ghost story. | ||||||
32 | 11/4/2021 18:16:15 | 2024 | Cadaver | Walk around in masks occasionally | To feel superior I guess | ||||||
33 | 11/4/2021 16:28:11 | 2025 | Cadaver | Run the underground life of W&L | Discreetly run W&L | ||||||
