--The Citadel, Charleston, S.C. Cadets put on dress whites for the Corps Day Hop. They can even find dates on campus: coed since 1996, the student body includes 60 female cadets.

--Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. At the annual Queer Prom, male prom queens and female prom kings perform in drag. Dress whites optional.

--Reed College, Portland, Ore. At this year's "Renn Fayre," Reedies burned their theses, Jell-O wrestled, ate bugs off one another's skin and flailed to the rock band Paradise Citizens.
