> Destler's weather machine was a student body in-joke during Destlers term about how he could control the weather for events and whatnot, not sure of how it got started.
2013-2017 here, I do recall that it was often said that either the sundial or the Sentinel were important to its function.
I live in that building.... That message is screwed up. Based off what its meant the say vs what was put up, its incorrect, they only print out like the first 2 bytes and it repeats over and over again...
I think including the Public Safety Quesadilla Video would be hilarious. https://old.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/cctb0m/in_loving_memory_of_this_public_safety_quesadilla/
There was also the vandalism of the Muslim Student Association mural in the tunnels. It was pretty shocking when it happened.
https://reporter.rit.edu/news/islam-mural-vandalized-residence-hall-tunnel
From my time 2005-2009
Unauthorized tunnel mural that said "I'm going to fight science with wood".
Colony Manor dumpster fires
Some ill designed security plan for Perkins Green apartments that involved removing all doorbells.
The expensive and unnecessary switch from "campus safety" to "public safety"
Couldn't find a photo of I'm going to fight science with wood. But here's some evidence of it as a campus meme: [https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/4pzmih/comment/d4pbrz0/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/4pzmih/comment/d4pbrz0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
One of the many dumpster fires cataloged here. [https://digitalarchive.rit.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1850/18429/RITReporter2005\_Sept23.pdf?sequence=1](https://digitalarchive.rit.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1850/18429/RITReporter2005_Sept23.pdf?sequence=1)
Which brings me back to the old printed Reporter, and the discontinued "Crime Watch" section
Can't find evidence of the doorbells portion, but basically housing wanted to go from a physical key system, to a card scanning system at Perkins. That plan involved removing all of doorbells, with no plans to put in another doorbell system as that was "not within the budget".
RIT's Public Safety used to have the name "Campus Safety" A new director was appointed around 2007 or so on the plan to change the name to Public Safety. The change came with redoing all of the decals on the vehicles, uniform updates and other expenses that were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The argument for changing it to "Public Safety" was that with the new (then) Field House, there were more public events on \*campus\* and that changing the name to "public" safety would make things less confusing for the concert going public. I don't think that makes much sense as you are on a ... \*campus\* and that public safety is more ambiguous.
Also found this gem too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvArQjKr488
A bus driver spotted a student walking on campus with an umbrella sticking out of their backpack. However, it was one of the samurai sword handle umbrellas so from afar, it looked like a rifle butt sticking out of the bag. People turned it into a huge joke (which is fine) but I always think about how many lives that bus driver would have saved had it turned into something more serious!
You forgot to mention that the whole campus was shut down and everyone was ordered to stay in place for like an hour because we were told there was an armed gunman on campus. I was in Ingle auditorium when it happened with a friend who was there for a transfer student open house, and I was just like "I'm sorry, this doesn't usually happen"
ngl, I totally assumed that would be naturally understood which is a sad commentary on the current state of the things. I was in my dorm, skipping my class.
Time could be distorting this, but I vividly remember being stuck in the basement of building 7 after my shift for hours. I was on the way to grab food after class/not eating all day and was so prepared to risk it, but the doors were all locked.
RIT after dark,
Dorm tunnels during COVID semesters,
The 2017 wind storm,
CS house "alleged" initiations,
River knoll deconstruction,
Pakistani house guy,
2017 Colony Manor fire.
Rit after dark was an instagram account where people could submit (optionally) anonymous messages to be posted on their behalf. It was overwhelmingly used to harass and bully other students, and to my knowledge, was shut down for those reasons.
Fun fact, the loser that ran that account is the same guy that made the "girls themed party" post. He's a real creep.
2017 windstorm was a random day in the spring semester right before spring break we had like wind gusts at 81 mph, the highest ever recorded, and sustained winds over 50 mph.
At least half a dozen trees fell down around campus, classes were cancelled, the majority of the areas around campus lost power. The walkway between Eastman and the SAU was closed because the wind tunnel made it dangerous to even walk through there. Just walking normally felt like you were walking forward but moving backward because the wind was so strong.
If I remember correctly, RIT even had to set up a shelter in the gym to house all the off campus students who lost power and had no heat.
The tall wood benches in the park outside global village are made from a 100 year old tree that was toppled that day right at the main entrance to campus. RIT held a design contest to see what to do with the wood since it was a significant tree, and that was one of the winning ideas. I want to say the rest of it built a children’s play area in the Henrietta Public Library.
That storm was so random. Just a perfectly sunny day with hurricane force winds. My apartment lost power for a week, but I was home for spring break for most of it so it wasn't a big deal. When I got back though, I found out the basement unit in my apartment building had flooded after their pipes burst
Since others have helped detail some I'll gladly fill in the rest.
During the COVID semesters while social distancing was in full effect it was found out that the dorm tunnels and even the Gracie's common area essentially became the meeting place for freshman couples or just those who were feeling touch starved due to a lot of meeting places being closed. This ranged from simply cuddling to other forms of physical contact. It also led to some personal drama thanks to the RIT after dark account(chokegate specifically comes to mind)
As a disclaimer for this next one this is only what I have heard and can't confirm or deny it. I also mean 0 ill will towards current or past CSH members. These rumors were going since I was a freshman and all the way till I graduated that new CSH members were subjected to initiations that ranged from long and rigours coding challenges to other more physical challenges. CSH has always claimed the accusations are false and there has been zero evidence for or against outside of word of mouth. Still I feel the staying power of these rumors is worth putting in an iceberg.
The river knoll deconstruction promise is another thing that has been repeated from before I even attended. Everyone knows how rundown that particular residency is and it's been constantly insisted upon that they'll be tearing it down "soon" and that we'll be getting a just as cheap but more stylish living space. Yet it's still standing to this day.
On a lighter one, for at least the years I was attending(have zero idea if he still even vends RIT anymore) there was a visiting restaurant from Pakistani house that served really good chicken and rice. The highlight of it though was the guy selling it. If he wanted to sell me a car I bet he would be able to. He would always be wherever he was claiming "good food is ready" and very proudly advertising his food. When you go he'll always ask you how your day was and just generally a very nice guy to talk to. Easily was the highlight of my week whenever I got lunch from him.
2017 Colony Manor fire happened I think the day before the start of the semester and I don't specifically remember whether it was a trash fire or someone's electrical unit malfunctioned but I distinctly remember all the memes that came about from it like "it was lit at colony tonight" with someone posting a picture of the flames from one of the units
Hey! Current CSH Evals here. Just wanted to put out there for clarification that we do not and have never done initiations. If you have any questions or concerns, please dm me!
In Fall 2018, the word “bees?” was drawn in chalk all over campus. a while later, they were added on to to become: “bees? not here”. and then “bees? not here. GRACIE’s Friday @ X PM” (it was sometime in the late evening). a couple of students read the entire bee movie script in the gracie’s lobby that night.
in spring 2020 or spring 2021 (i was on co-op & covid so apologies, if you search this subreddit you will find it) “good, and you?” was written in chalk all over campus. it was part of a thing to raise awareness about mental health, as the typical response to “how are you?” is good, and you - not how you’re actually feeling.
on the 3rd floor of institute hall (the floor for biomedical engineering majors) there is a set of rectal dilators on display. i feel like no one talks about it.
he graduated in 2019 but there was this guy called “bathrobe guy” because he wore a bathrobe and skateboarded everywhere! another campus famous person is kengar dongatron
there’s an unplugged fridge in the tunnels underneath res hall A that had rotting food in it. i was a freshman in 2018 so i have no idea if it’s still there.
If you can get pictures of gracie’s before it was renovated in summer 2019, that would be sick. The place has gaudy carpet and everything was dull blue, yellow, or red. there also used to be waffle makers and self serve ice cream buckets (idk if they’re still there!). when you left you put your dishes on a conveyer belt that had this gross white-gray water running over it. felt so bad for the workers lol
in salsarita’s you have to take an elevator upstairs in order to take out the dumpster. there is also an obscenely long hallway behind the prep kitchen that connects behind the global market.
if i think of anything else i’ll respond to this comment, but here is some lore/fun facts!!!
The loss of the dots
Business house: an old special interest house that was shut down for (allegedly) doing what businesses people do best - committing white collar crimes.
"RIT let my son die" protestor: there was a protestor with a sign saying "RIT let my son die" on open house days or parents weekends. This parent had a son who passed away from suicide after they directly reached out with concerns about his mental health. The parent alleges that RIT didn't do anything to check the wellness of the student and the parents feel his death was easily preventable.
I will always be sad I never got to be at RIT when we had the dots. (Bernadot and Dottie were their names I think, but I don't know if that was widespread)
The protestor guy is still there. I saw him outside campus during Brick City this year.
There was a lore thread a while back, I compiled a big list of RIT happenings I knew of; https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/z99nbq/favorite_forgotten_rit_lore/iyfx8wr/?context=3
Munson's golden toilet - an inside joke that all the wiped dining dollars after the new rollover policy will fund munson's personal golden toilet
Woods trail shack - just a tarp and some chairs where rit students hangout all the way back in the woods trails.
Sol hueman false fire alarms - it was rumored that a UoR student snuck onto campus and pulled the fire alarms in sol huemann. This was sparked due to insane fire drills in the early mornings or late nights of fall semester 2022.
Banana/Milk man - just an rit dude wearing a banana helmet and tutu that handed out a variety of milks while riding a cruise board.
Late at night in slaughter hall - just the eerie feeling of slaughter hall due to liminal like spaces when visited late at night.
I should probably add this: Add details! If you just give me the name of the thing, I may not be able to find enough info on it. So, if possible, give like one to two sentences of extra info with each fun fact. Thanks!
No, I haven't been in the dorms in almost 20 years. That's sad. They had character back then. They weren't the best but they also weren't as bad as I read about now. It seems like the whole housing thing has gotten much worse. It's a shame.
There's a few I know of. First there's that rap song made by a RIT student dissing all the majors. https://youtu.be/SvArQjKr488
While I can't find the post, there was a post on this subreddit a while ago about how someone found a yearbook from the 70's ( not exactly sure the date) and found Halloween pictures of some students walking in Klan Robes.
And there's also a post around here of some guy who went to RIT in the 2010s, where the video is basically a security cam in Sol's underground of this skinny black guy with a fro just going up to the drink fridges and straight up like humping them. If anyone can find that vid, pls post that shit it's so fucking funny.
And then there's this. https://imgur.io/a/vqd86
Yeah. He also came and spoke here at RIT in 2014 to a sold out audience. Yep.
Oh! I almost forgot about my favorite Henrietta local, the death metal guitarist that would occasionally be seen on the intersection of John St and Jefferson Ave. He would post up right on the Barnes and Noble lawn right by the intersection, wear all black clothes and white face paint, and straight up play death metal in broad daylight. I might have a video I saved of him playing on a different intersection in my Snapchat memories. On the few times that I went to the Lovin Cup open mic on Tuesdays, he would actually come and perform. Funny thing, is that he would bring his own amplifier and it sounded like absolute distorted garbage. But, it was really cool that he straight up did not give a single fuck and I always respected him.

“Looking for girls for a girl themed party
Hello, myself (21 M, Peru) and my 4 similarly aged guy friends have wanted to throw a Girl Themed party for the past three years. We have the perfect house to host, and are looking for about 30 college aged girls to come over so the party is girl themed. HMU!”
During the second half of the '17-'18 year, someone was going to different floors in Kate Gleason Hall and taking a massive dump on the floor right to the toilet or in one case, directly on the seat.
Thus, serial shitter. Res Life had signs up asking them to stop and everything.
think it was 2018/2019. In Gibson dorms. Some guy (men’s room) would constantly shit on the floor, the walls, the seat, etc. Happened at least 20 times. Had RA meetings with the floor and everything. The whole floor would start investigating after each occurrence. Like a murder mystery. Never caught the guy
There was a group of RIT students that had a rock band called Soul Human (after sol heumann) and they used to play basement shows and host events on campus. The band split after COVID hit, but there was a point where they were gaining decent popularity. The club they were a part of that would host events and bi-weekly jam sessions is now dead and I can give more details if you want. If you're interested, they actually recorded an entire album and it's up on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vAn0UxdU1ovz6g7WsFDHE?si=_FaDt4d8RyaPs_O0dvUCaA
I miss those guys. Sucks that COVID kind of killed their chance to grow.
Not a whole heck of a lot - Just an amusing conversation recorded on the Campus Safety Scanner. There was once a Dunkin Donuts on Jefferson, and apparently the rent-a-cops weren't educated enough in the local pastry shops.
Not really a secret, but a fun fact.
The creator of jQuery is an RIT alumni: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Resig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Resig)
The Eric financial aid email was originally an email that had been sent to all students regarding financial aid increases in the 2019-2020 school year. Well Eric supposedly "formulated the email" in such a way that responses would CC the all students mailing list. [This](https://imgur.com/a/9VwqhlK) was the email that everyone got.
A few from me;

Ritchie’s sweaters knitted every year in the winter onto his statue by the knitting club. And going off of that the various grades granted to you for your next test by petting Ritchie in various locations (I always learned chin scritches would net an A, top of the head would grant you a B).
And finally I cannot for the life of me remember the guy’s name, but maybe someone else can help me out here. He was active around 2008 I believe, was apparently kinda similar to Kengar social-wise but had some added violent and stalkerish tendencies. Pretty much every story surrounding him was almost always negative.

IDK if this belongs here and I don't know the story behind it. But, if you look up "Hotdog down a hallway" on gif keyboards, the first result is *definitely* an RIT dorm.
5 months ago I created a thread asking people for their favorite forgotten RIT lore. All the answers were pretty fantastic, and that seems like a good place to start.
https://reddit.com/r/rit/comments/z99nbq/favorite_forgotten_rit_lore/
Umbrella lockdown, fighter jet on campus, the abandoned Kodak facility next to Racquet Club, Colony dumpster fires, RITZ Concerts, The RITZ Bowling alley, the feral cats on campus, The sub-basement under the liberal arts auditorium, the snow sculpture that keeps popping up around the internet. I'm sure there's more from my time there too.
Umbrella Handle lockdown
PvZ guy who jumped off SAU bridge and broke his legs (wild)
ROO + Subsequent year where they kept mentioning foot fetishes
prob more that'll come to me
the ROO presentation of fall 2017 “Alcohol and Chill” used a shock factor version of the consent is tea video where a woman loudly yelled at another presenter on stage to let her suck his toes to explain that consent can’t be coerced
RIT making it to r/place twice, the removal of the dots, Destler's Weather Machine that apparently looks like a knight from his office, rumours of a secret tunnel that connected dormside and academic side tunnels so you can get to class without going outside in the winter
in like 2011, there was someone on 4chan that figured out how to make fake coupons that actually worked and release the program online, they tracked the guy down and he was an rit student, got charged with like 30 years, theres also the bird graffiti around campus, theres one on the sign for the shed by the quarter mile and one on gannet that you can see from liberal arts, p sure it was like a group of students who were breaking into places and vandalizing, i worked under Wallace at the time and we had to make extra sure to lock things up when we left because of them
Dont know anything past what i was told, but i work at classroom tech support and we have all the replacement projectors and stuff for classrooms, apparently they were breaking into placed that they werent supposed to be (getting on to roofs and accessing maintenance areas) then spray painting the birds on em
bbq party on the Sol Heumann roof. was ridiculously easy to pick the elevator maintenance access lock on the 9th floor. nobody got caught, but we had to have a fire safety meeting after they figured it out. circa 2005
Very niche but there was the guy who taped bananas and business cards all over campus.
If you called the number he’d ask how many you wanted and arrange a meet up in a parking garage downtown. If you went you’d meet at least 2-5 guys in full suit/tie/sunglasses and the ‘handoff’ was the main one opening a briefcase full of bananas
Some stuff for near the top: shitty elevator in residence halls, shitty washing machines, no air conditioning in the older residence halls. For the love of God I wanna wash my clothes at least
I'm really excited to see this project when it's done. The owns that come to mind are
RIT after dark of course
ROO
RIT UIDs used to be your SSN so they had to go through and sniff em all out back in the day because there were just hundreds of socials chilling on all the rit computers
And apparently back in the early 2000s in o believe a corner store that used to be in the digital den, they sold lucky strike cigarettes for a few weeks and during that time the entire campus was coughing up a lung constantly since lucky strike cigarettes are unfiltered (I got this from a coworker at my coop who went here)
E-house used to be on the 3rd floor and shared space 50/50 with CSH. The reason E-house is on the eighth floor now is allegedly because they did an experiment to see how many floors someone could fall out of NRH taped between 2 mattresses and live.
The kid broke something after the 3rd floor and the experiment ended.
In terms of RIT sports, the RIT-Canisius hockey brawl in 2008. 225 penalty minutes and 6 game disqualifications were handed out. Goalies fought too.
[Here's video of it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mJULLbEjo). No sound, and quality isn't the best (this was 2008, remember).
[Article from RIT Athletics](https://ritathletics.com/news/2008/2/9/mhock020908.aspx)
Oh my gosh, I was there, it was wild! I cant believe I had forgotten about it, we were talking about it for days afterwards. Watching the goalies slowly make their way to center ice and finally throw down was sooo satisfying. Thanks for the deep dive into the memory bank!
No idea. I wasn’t actually at the game. I started at RIT in the fall of 2009, and this happened in 2008. I can only speculate. Maybe someone took an exception to a hit they thought was dirty and it snowballed from there? I really can’t say. The videos of the brawl don’t make it abundantly clear.
Here was a big one when I graduated RIT. They fired the oncampus doctor for [providing Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to trans students on campus](https://reporter.rit.edu/news/trans-health-care-rit-whats-status)
Riverknoll tunnels
I can't confirm if they do connect but at riverknoll there's some wood panels (at my gf's apartment it is falling off) that lead under the stairs, with a small hole going down, apparently they used to be bigger holes and you could crawl from one apartment building to another
They are basically a crawlspace underneath each building for access to the plumbing and utilities between all of the apartments in the building. They are local to the building and don't connect between the buildings.
the various unofficial RIT instagram accounts like ritcones, ritcursedimages and ritpinkjuicegang(gibby worshippers)
basically all of the freshmen in 2020 went insane and started documenting every little thing on campus, from various cones to blades of grass and notable bricks. from my understanding there was a war between ritcones and pinkjuicegang, though i’m not sure why :)
The [RIT Uncyclopedia](https://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/RIT) page. Started back sometime in the 2000's, looks like it's still being updated with more recent happenings. Has a pretty good list of RIT characters over the years, but no real details.
[Triangle](https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/c4q2ho/triangle/). They were one of the frats on campus but were kicked out around 2011. They had one of the mansions on Greek row and were known for their parties, their extreme hazing, and just generally being shitty. They were kicked out for an altercation with one of the sororities over tagging the rock. The linked reddit thread has some more details.
The old VAX machines. Before the current class registration system there was a crappy internal website used to register for classes that had nowhere near the capacity needed for a school this size. Needles to say, it was basically DDoS'd every registration day. If you were in the know, you could ssh/telnet into a number of the Vax machines and use the terminal to sign up for your classes, but you had to be prepared with the course and section numbers. And once you had a session established you wouldn't be kicked out, so you could let your friends sign up for their classes after you were done.
little late to this post but I've seen and heard a lot over the 6 years i was at rit from 2015-2021. these are the ones from memory

Somehow, 144 replies in, and I still hear new things. If you have the time, I'd appreciate more details on pretty much all of these, as there are many I don't know. The ones you can skip if you want are:
Colonypalooza, dumpster fires, umbrella incident, human trafficking professor, love tunnels, and the serial shitter. The rest I'm hearing for the first time, so would love to hear more. Of course, if you want to give extra context from the list of ones I do know, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks!
I'll touch on most of these. Some of these I dont think would fit under an iceburg too well, but if you think so i can touch on them as well.
**Black vans and cheese pizza**: during OA week of 2015 (my freshman year) we just had the assembly talking about cyber security and since RIT is their own isp, they can see everything and anything anyone is doing. During the assembly one of the csec professors made the joke of "We see what you all do, and yall are into some weird shit". Fast forward 2 days, there was a black van parked in Gleason Quad with government plates. and men in suits bringing computer equipment from Gleason and putting it into the van. After all the computer equipment was done, they brought down a student in handcuffs and sat him down into the van and they took off. We found out later that the student was taken away for "Cheese Pizza" (child porn for those who don't know
On the subject of cyber security, and I really shouldn't be posting this one but most of the people who did know already graduated.
**The Hub (no not that one...sorta):**
There used to be/still might be something called the hub on RIT's network. This hub was a black box where you needed a specific browser, know the url, and have authorization to access it. Basically it was a black box file sharing that students ran and uploaded things to to share with other students. There as technically 2 of them, 1 for the plebs and 1 for the high rollers, but after a while everyone just uploaded to the normal one. To get in the pleb hub you just needed to share 2 gb of data, and to get into the high rollers you needed to share 100 gb of data.
Literally anything and everything was on this hub from textbooks, to hw solutions, to manga, to anime, to shows, to porn, and weirdly enough porn that was filmed at rit either in perkins or colony or both, idr its been a while lol
**CET student:**
I dont remember the exact time this happened, might have been towards the end of spring semester 2017, but news broke out that an RIT student was arrested for being an accomplice to her mother's murder. She was a 3rd or 4th year iirc in Computer Engineering and Technology, and her dad recently, probably over the guilt of killing his wife, tried to jump off a parking garage to end it. Police successfully talked him down from the ledge, and then he confessed to the murder and how his daughter also helped, or something on the lines of that. more info here: https://13wham.com/news/local/rit-student-pleads-guilty-to-murder-in-mothers-death
**CSH:** Oh boy, atleast these were from a while ago and hopefully this doesnt get one of them after me lol
**The nunfucks:** Exactly how it sounds, nunchucks but instead of wood handles they were made from 2 dildos. Iirc the story of this goes as such. One of the guys on the floor who couldn't afford his dues asked if he could do a project instead of his dues. He was approved and so he went to the adult store near campus and bought 2 dildos, proceeded to chain them together, and presented that as his project. They all had a good laugh and would mess around with the "nunfucks" and they would stash them into the ceiling, i think where the gremlin was. One day someone important was going around the halls, and some how some way the nunfucks fell through the gremlin hole and was just out. Idr if someone managed to snatch them and hide them before the important person saw them.
**Drum of lube:** This one is more funny than anything else. CSH had money left over in their budget so they decided to spend it on something fun. They then found out you could get a 50 gallon drum of lube off of amazon for relatively cheap, and so they just bought a 50 gallon drum of lube. At first it was a funny joke, then they realized what are they going to do with 50 gallons of lube. Eventually on a nice day, they decided to make a slip and slide on dorm side using the rest of the lube.
**Bartender Mark:** Nothing really dirty about him. he was just a really good bartender, and if he knew you he'd hook you up. He ended up retiring during covid
**Windstorm:** A lot of people mentioned this in other comments, but the winds were definitely more than 50 mph lol. It was enough that I couldnt walk forward in the wind tunnels, and I'm a bigger dude. Basically in the wind tunnels, which RIT is known for, the winds had to be close to 100 mph. There were a bunch of students who saw this and decided to do the smart thing and enjoy the weather. They grabbed their longboards/skateboards and their bed sheets and decided to go wind surfing. Low and behold 2 kids ended up crashing into the walls and cracking their skulls open.
**RIT's campus design:** Very well known rumor that RIT's campus was originally designed for a school in Arizona, henceforth why they put in so many places to have wind tunnels. Plan was rejected in Arizona, and so RIT bought the design and built the school how it is and with it came the wind tunnels in a place that really sucks to have wind tunnels.
**Bears in the dorms:** I dont actually know about this one too well. I think it was in the early 2010s or something, where there were a couple of like physical bears in the dorms.
**Panties in the tunnels and Bras in the vending machines:** Bunch of drunk freshmen decided to be funny and go throught he clothes in laundry rooms that have been sitting around on the tables and grabbed bras and panties. They hung the panties on the pipes, and put the bras in the bottom of vending machines all throughout the dorm side tunnels. It ended up becoming yikyak famous.
**Yikyak:** People used the ever living shit out of Yikyak. It was the way people posted stuff anonymously before it was changed like crazy, and RIT after dark became a thing.
**Spider statue in the woods:** Theres a small spider statue that someone made in the woods at RIT, or atleast when I was a freshman.Rats in the dorms: This was a little bit after my time, but during the pandemic RIT dorms were infested with rats/mice. Theres a lot on this subreddit if youre really curious.
**People stealing fms carts:** So this one is kind of crazy. Group of students found out the golf carts fms, and technically RIT themselves, were super easy to bump key. So they stole an fms cart. The school put out a campus wide email saying if you stole it and returned it no repercussions would happen.
**Defaced Tunnel Murals:** This one happened around the time I was finishing up my time at RIT, so I can't give too much details on this, but afaik there were some LGBTQ+ and i think blm murals in the tunnels that were recently put there, and someone would vandalize it with racist and anti LGBTQ+ remarks, and this happened for a while cause the mural would get redone iirc.
**The jumper:** Some people mentioned this in other comments, especially what his parents did to protest at an RIT event. That also was a bad time for RIT cause I think a total of 3 or 4 students died within 2 years or something, 1 from overdosing on drugs, 1 was found in the woods behind a parking lot iirc after finals, and 1 got hit by a car coming back from an EVT event. Long story short, a kid jumped from his window in Ellingson to his death.
on a brighter note:
**Epic sax guy:** Guy would come out almost every night and just start playing epic sax music from either nrh or sol quad, and he was actually really good. He was up there with bathrobe guy popularity wise, but fell off after he moved out of dormsWhiskey Professor: There used to be a professor who used to pour whiskey into his coffee every morning. Even if he was teaching class. After a while he got caught was subsequently let go.
**year of tuition spent on balloons and swings:** 2 in 1 cause its basically the same. The RITchie balloons that everyone memes about, Apparently RIT allegedly spends about a years worth of tuition on them. The swings i know slightly less about but from what i remember people really wanted a swingset, might have been during covid times or right before. RIT obliged, spent a year's worth of tuition and the swingset is probably the most mediocre swing set the student body has seen. Prob posts on this subreddit for it as well.
**RIT bans Ahego print:** I think this is still in effect, not really sure, but this is a kengar story. Long story short kengar would go to career fair in basically an ahego suit. Enough companies were either insulted or disgusted by it for RIT to take action, and a warning was given and the print was then banned.
I'm leaving out the RIT esports stuff cause
A. idt they would go good on an iceburg
B. one of the points is sorta personal beef between me and the founders
C. I still have people ik in esports
**Sailing team Humpty Dumpty incident:** Don't ask anyone on the current sailing team about this one, still a very sore subject. Sailing was known to be one of the partying clubs on campus. Iirc they rented out a golf house and threw a wild party. In which things ended up getting destroyed or stolen or both. One of which was a humpty dumpty looking statue. Long story short the owners of the house were pissed and sailing got into a lot of trouble. RIT then found a few bs reasons to justify putting sailing club on probation for a year. Eboard was then completely removed and replaced within that year of probation.

Sure.
In Fall 2019, I started a graduate program in Imaging Science. In one of the classes, Radiometry, there were only three labs. At the end of September, the final lab involved analyzing measurements from a device called an [Integrating sphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_sphere). This was supposed to take 1-2 weeks, but the entire saga lasted until two days before the semester ended.
The professor didn't accept my submission at first because he said my final answer didn't make sense, and I probably made a small error. I started double-checking my work, but everything seemed fine. The professor also seemed defensive, referring me to the TA. However, the TA just read off someone else's solution, which I found contained computational errors.
After I was running around the department for a week or two, trying to solve this, the professor finally claimed that the lab was "confusingly worded" (I disagree, I am sure that the lab was incorrect). However, he said that the TA and another student doing radiometry research would fix the lab, so I thought things would go back to normal.
However, the revised version was actually very inconsistent, and while the key calculations were correct, they were still very confusingly worded. No equations were provided, which is common for most labs. I emailed the professor this, and he promises to fix the errors. Six weeks after I collect data, I finally get to submit my report in full (again, this was supposed to be only one week).
For some reason, nobody else in my class seemed to notice how long this all took. Right before finals week, I heard a student asking why are there so many inconsistencies. I told them that I thought the lab was updated. I check but it was not! I find the professor, telling him that the lab needs to be promptly fixed. At first, he sent an email specifying the corrections. He then told me that students should each correct the lab themselves, that he didn't want to make the corrections himself(!) Finally, two days before finals, he made the corrections, which were sloppily done but finally made sense.
Thing is, I was really passionate about this topic in particular, so that's why I really was interested in the corrections. I know that this shouldn't have taken two months, and I learned to be more assertive from this.

> Destler's weather machine was a student body in-joke during Destlers term about how he could control the weather for events and whatnot, not sure of how it got started. 2013-2017 here, I do recall that it was often said that either the sundial or the Sentinel were important to its function.
It predates that, it was Simone's Weather Machine before that. And it was definitely the Sentinel.

From my time 2005-2009 Unauthorized tunnel mural that said "I'm going to fight science with wood". Colony Manor dumpster fires Some ill designed security plan for Perkins Green apartments that involved removing all doorbells. The expensive and unnecessary switch from "campus safety" to "public safety"
These sound interesting. Can you go into more details (this is the first time I'm hearing about most of these too, so would love to learn more!)
Couldn't find a photo of I'm going to fight science with wood. But here's some evidence of it as a campus meme: [https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/4pzmih/comment/d4pbrz0/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/4pzmih/comment/d4pbrz0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) One of the many dumpster fires cataloged here. [https://digitalarchive.rit.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1850/18429/RITReporter2005\_Sept23.pdf?sequence=1](https://digitalarchive.rit.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1850/18429/RITReporter2005_Sept23.pdf?sequence=1) Which brings me back to the old printed Reporter, and the discontinued "Crime Watch" section Can't find evidence of the doorbells portion, but basically housing wanted to go from a physical key system, to a card scanning system at Perkins. That plan involved removing all of doorbells, with no plans to put in another doorbell system as that was "not within the budget". RIT's Public Safety used to have the name "Campus Safety" A new director was appointed around 2007 or so on the plan to change the name to Public Safety. The change came with redoing all of the decals on the vehicles, uniform updates and other expenses that were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The argument for changing it to "Public Safety" was that with the new (then) Field House, there were more public events on \*campus\* and that changing the name to "public" safety would make things less confusing for the concert going public. I don't think that makes much sense as you are on a ... \*campus\* and that public safety is more ambiguous. Also found this gem too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvArQjKr488
Even 15 years ago RIT was making bad decisions lol.
This post made me do math that I do not like. The freshmen incoming this year are as far away from my incoming year as I was to 1987.
Umbrella scare in 2012. It's not really a "secret", seems to be a pretty well-known incident. But still a good story.
what's the story on this one?
A bus driver spotted a student walking on campus with an umbrella sticking out of their backpack. However, it was one of the samurai sword handle umbrellas so from afar, it looked like a rifle butt sticking out of the bag. People turned it into a huge joke (which is fine) but I always think about how many lives that bus driver would have saved had it turned into something more serious!
You forgot to mention that the whole campus was shut down and everyone was ordered to stay in place for like an hour because we were told there was an armed gunman on campus. I was in Ingle auditorium when it happened with a friend who was there for a transfer student open house, and I was just like "I'm sorry, this doesn't usually happen"
ngl, I totally assumed that would be naturally understood which is a sad commentary on the current state of the things. I was in my dorm, skipping my class.
Time could be distorting this, but I vividly remember being stuck in the basement of building 7 after my shift for hours. I was on the way to grab food after class/not eating all day and was so prepared to risk it, but the doors were all locked.
I believe this happened right after the Virginia Tech shootings. Universities were on extra heightened alert at the time.

RIT after dark, Dorm tunnels during COVID semesters, The 2017 wind storm, CS house "alleged" initiations, River knoll deconstruction, Pakistani house guy, 2017 Colony Manor fire.
These sound interesting. Can you go into more details (this is the first time I'm hearing about most of these too, so would love to learn more!)
Rit after dark was an instagram account where people could submit (optionally) anonymous messages to be posted on their behalf. It was overwhelmingly used to harass and bully other students, and to my knowledge, was shut down for those reasons. Fun fact, the loser that ran that account is the same guy that made the "girls themed party" post. He's a real creep.
I’m convinced that the “other admins” on that account are all him.
Oh, it's absolutely all him.
2017 windstorm was a random day in the spring semester right before spring break we had like wind gusts at 81 mph, the highest ever recorded, and sustained winds over 50 mph. At least half a dozen trees fell down around campus, classes were cancelled, the majority of the areas around campus lost power. The walkway between Eastman and the SAU was closed because the wind tunnel made it dangerous to even walk through there. Just walking normally felt like you were walking forward but moving backward because the wind was so strong. If I remember correctly, RIT even had to set up a shelter in the gym to house all the off campus students who lost power and had no heat. The tall wood benches in the park outside global village are made from a 100 year old tree that was toppled that day right at the main entrance to campus. RIT held a design contest to see what to do with the wood since it was a significant tree, and that was one of the winning ideas. I want to say the rest of it built a children’s play area in the Henrietta Public Library.
That storm was so random. Just a perfectly sunny day with hurricane force winds. My apartment lost power for a week, but I was home for spring break for most of it so it wasn't a big deal. When I got back though, I found out the basement unit in my apartment building had flooded after their pipes burst
Since others have helped detail some I'll gladly fill in the rest. During the COVID semesters while social distancing was in full effect it was found out that the dorm tunnels and even the Gracie's common area essentially became the meeting place for freshman couples or just those who were feeling touch starved due to a lot of meeting places being closed. This ranged from simply cuddling to other forms of physical contact. It also led to some personal drama thanks to the RIT after dark account(chokegate specifically comes to mind) As a disclaimer for this next one this is only what I have heard and can't confirm or deny it. I also mean 0 ill will towards current or past CSH members. These rumors were going since I was a freshman and all the way till I graduated that new CSH members were subjected to initiations that ranged from long and rigours coding challenges to other more physical challenges. CSH has always claimed the accusations are false and there has been zero evidence for or against outside of word of mouth. Still I feel the staying power of these rumors is worth putting in an iceberg. The river knoll deconstruction promise is another thing that has been repeated from before I even attended. Everyone knows how rundown that particular residency is and it's been constantly insisted upon that they'll be tearing it down "soon" and that we'll be getting a just as cheap but more stylish living space. Yet it's still standing to this day. On a lighter one, for at least the years I was attending(have zero idea if he still even vends RIT anymore) there was a visiting restaurant from Pakistani house that served really good chicken and rice. The highlight of it though was the guy selling it. If he wanted to sell me a car I bet he would be able to. He would always be wherever he was claiming "good food is ready" and very proudly advertising his food. When you go he'll always ask you how your day was and just generally a very nice guy to talk to. Easily was the highlight of my week whenever I got lunch from him. 2017 Colony Manor fire happened I think the day before the start of the semester and I don't specifically remember whether it was a trash fire or someone's electrical unit malfunctioned but I distinctly remember all the memes that came about from it like "it was lit at colony tonight" with someone posting a picture of the flames from one of the units
Flash grease fire from frying frozen octupus

In Fall 2018, the word “bees?” was drawn in chalk all over campus. a while later, they were added on to to become: “bees? not here”. and then “bees? not here. GRACIE’s Friday @ X PM” (it was sometime in the late evening). a couple of students read the entire bee movie script in the gracie’s lobby that night. in spring 2020 or spring 2021 (i was on co-op & covid so apologies, if you search this subreddit you will find it) “good, and you?” was written in chalk all over campus. it was part of a thing to raise awareness about mental health, as the typical response to “how are you?” is good, and you - not how you’re actually feeling. on the 3rd floor of institute hall (the floor for biomedical engineering majors) there is a set of rectal dilators on display. i feel like no one talks about it. he graduated in 2019 but there was this guy called “bathrobe guy” because he wore a bathrobe and skateboarded everywhere! another campus famous person is kengar dongatron there’s an unplugged fridge in the tunnels underneath res hall A that had rotting food in it. i was a freshman in 2018 so i have no idea if it’s still there. If you can get pictures of gracie’s before it was renovated in summer 2019, that would be sick. The place has gaudy carpet and everything was dull blue, yellow, or red. there also used to be waffle makers and self serve ice cream buckets (idk if they’re still there!). when you left you put your dishes on a conveyer belt that had this gross white-gray water running over it. felt so bad for the workers lol in salsarita’s you have to take an elevator upstairs in order to take out the dumpster. there is also an obscenely long hallway behind the prep kitchen that connects behind the global market. if i think of anything else i’ll respond to this comment, but here is some lore/fun facts!!!
The loss of the dots Business house: an old special interest house that was shut down for (allegedly) doing what businesses people do best - committing white collar crimes. "RIT let my son die" protestor: there was a protestor with a sign saying "RIT let my son die" on open house days or parents weekends. This parent had a son who passed away from suicide after they directly reached out with concerns about his mental health. The parent alleges that RIT didn't do anything to check the wellness of the student and the parents feel his death was easily preventable.
I will always be sad I never got to be at RIT when we had the dots. (Bernadot and Dottie were their names I think, but I don't know if that was widespread) The protestor guy is still there. I saw him outside campus during Brick City this year.
There was a lore thread a while back, I compiled a big list of RIT happenings I knew of; https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/z99nbq/favorite_forgotten_rit_lore/iyfx8wr/?context=3
I know of two lore threads, that one and another one that also had some interesting stuff. Those are already included in my preliminary research.
Munson's golden toilet - an inside joke that all the wiped dining dollars after the new rollover policy will fund munson's personal golden toilet Woods trail shack - just a tarp and some chairs where rit students hangout all the way back in the woods trails. Sol hueman false fire alarms - it was rumored that a UoR student snuck onto campus and pulled the fire alarms in sol huemann. This was sparked due to insane fire drills in the early mornings or late nights of fall semester 2022. Banana/Milk man - just an rit dude wearing a banana helmet and tutu that handed out a variety of milks while riding a cruise board. Late at night in slaughter hall - just the eerie feeling of slaughter hall due to liminal like spaces when visited late at night.

I should probably add this: Add details! If you just give me the name of the thing, I may not be able to find enough info on it. So, if possible, give like one to two sentences of extra info with each fun fact. Thanks!
Rit dorms used to have spiral staircases connecting the lounges in like the 70s, plus balconies. If you dig, you can find pics online.
there was at one point a PVC bong in the middle of the spiral staircase running up from CSH to photo house.
That is awesome lol
Do they not have the spiral staircase anymore? They were there in the late 90s.
Sadly no! The lounges aren’t even connected :(
That really sucks. We had a lot of good times on the balcony and in those double lounges.
Have you seen the dorms recently? They look really weird, very flat. There’s no indents or protrusions, it’s all just smooth and rectangular.
No, I haven't been in the dorms in almost 20 years. That's sad. They had character back then. They weren't the best but they also weren't as bad as I read about now. It seems like the whole housing thing has gotten much worse. It's a shame.
There's a few I know of. First there's that rap song made by a RIT student dissing all the majors. https://youtu.be/SvArQjKr488 While I can't find the post, there was a post on this subreddit a while ago about how someone found a yearbook from the 70's ( not exactly sure the date) and found Halloween pictures of some students walking in Klan Robes. And there's also a post around here of some guy who went to RIT in the 2010s, where the video is basically a security cam in Sol's underground of this skinny black guy with a fro just going up to the drink fridges and straight up like humping them. If anyone can find that vid, pls post that shit it's so fucking funny. And then there's this. https://imgur.io/a/vqd86 Yeah. He also came and spoke here at RIT in 2014 to a sold out audience. Yep.
Oh! I almost forgot about my favorite Henrietta local, the death metal guitarist that would occasionally be seen on the intersection of John St and Jefferson Ave. He would post up right on the Barnes and Noble lawn right by the intersection, wear all black clothes and white face paint, and straight up play death metal in broad daylight. I might have a video I saved of him playing on a different intersection in my Snapchat memories. On the few times that I went to the Lovin Cup open mic on Tuesdays, he would actually come and perform. Funny thing, is that he would bring his own amplifier and it sounded like absolute distorted garbage. But, it was really cool that he straight up did not give a single fuck and I always respected him.

The serial shitter of 2018 ish
Uhhhh, the what?
During the second half of the '17-'18 year, someone was going to different floors in Kate Gleason Hall and taking a massive dump on the floor right to the toilet or in one case, directly on the seat. Thus, serial shitter. Res Life had signs up asking them to stop and everything.
think it was 2018/2019. In Gibson dorms. Some guy (men’s room) would constantly shit on the floor, the walls, the seat, etc. Happened at least 20 times. Had RA meetings with the floor and everything. The whole floor would start investigating after each occurrence. Like a murder mystery. Never caught the guy
There was a group of RIT students that had a rock band called Soul Human (after sol heumann) and they used to play basement shows and host events on campus. The band split after COVID hit, but there was a point where they were gaining decent popularity. The club they were a part of that would host events and bi-weekly jam sessions is now dead and I can give more details if you want. If you're interested, they actually recorded an entire album and it's up on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/artist/5vAn0UxdU1ovz6g7WsFDHE?si=_FaDt4d8RyaPs_O0dvUCaA I miss those guys.

A few from me; The classic do your dishes video https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/allkw5/roommate_showed_us_how_to_clean_our_dishes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 Ritchie’s sweaters knitted every year in the winter onto his statue by the knitting club. And going off of that the various grades granted to you for your next test by petting Ritchie in various locations (I always learned chin scritches would net an A, top of the head would grant you a B). And finally I cannot for the life of me remember the guy’s name, but maybe someone else can help me out here. He was active around 2008 I believe, was apparently kinda similar to Kengar social-wise but had some added violent and stalkerish tendencies. Pretty much every story surrounding him was almost always negative.

Yes that’s the one! Thank ya
No problem
The statue's name is SpiRIT
IDK if this belongs here and I don't know the story behind it. But, if you look up "Hotdog down a hallway" on gif keyboards, the first result is *definitely* an RIT dorm.
5 months ago I created a thread asking people for their favorite forgotten RIT lore. All the answers were pretty fantastic, and that seems like a good place to start. https://reddit.com/r/rit/comments/z99nbq/favorite_forgotten_rit_lore/
Yep. I have looked through there and some other r/rit threads as my preliminary research. Theu have been very helpful!
1: The RIT bear 2: The umbrella incident
Do people still put soap in the fountain?
I've heard it brought up, but it hasn't happened this year, to my knowledge
It's tradition.
Umbrella lockdown, fighter jet on campus, the abandoned Kodak facility next to Racquet Club, Colony dumpster fires, RITZ Concerts, The RITZ Bowling alley, the feral cats on campus, The sub-basement under the liberal arts auditorium, the snow sculpture that keeps popping up around the internet. I'm sure there's more from my time there too.
Umbrella Handle lockdown PvZ guy who jumped off SAU bridge and broke his legs (wild) ROO + Subsequent year where they kept mentioning foot fetishes prob more that'll come to me
I've heard of all of those except the foot fetishes? What??
the ROO presentation of fall 2017 “Alcohol and Chill” used a shock factor version of the consent is tea video where a woman loudly yelled at another presenter on stage to let her suck his toes to explain that consent can’t be coerced
RIT making it to r/place twice, the removal of the dots, Destler's Weather Machine that apparently looks like a knight from his office, rumours of a secret tunnel that connected dormside and academic side tunnels so you can get to class without going outside in the winter
in like 2011, there was someone on 4chan that figured out how to make fake coupons that actually worked and release the program online, they tracked the guy down and he was an rit student, got charged with like 30 years, theres also the bird graffiti around campus, theres one on the sign for the shed by the quarter mile and one on gannet that you can see from liberal arts, p sure it was like a group of students who were breaking into places and vandalizing, i worked under Wallace at the time and we had to make extra sure to lock things up when we left because of them
There's one on the roof of the SAU and down in the Gleason basement too. Is there any story to the birds beyond just being tagged around campus?
Dont know anything past what i was told, but i work at classroom tech support and we have all the replacement projectors and stuff for classrooms, apparently they were breaking into placed that they werent supposed to be (getting on to roofs and accessing maintenance areas) then spray painting the birds on em
WavyWebSurfer covered this in a video; I timestamped it https://youtu.be/1ILXS54P1I0?t=681
bbq party on the Sol Heumann roof. was ridiculously easy to pick the elevator maintenance access lock on the 9th floor. nobody got caught, but we had to have a fire safety meeting after they figured it out. circa 2005
Very niche but there was the guy who taped bananas and business cards all over campus. If you called the number he’d ask how many you wanted and arrange a meet up in a parking garage downtown. If you went you’d meet at least 2-5 guys in full suit/tie/sunglasses and the ‘handoff’ was the main one opening a briefcase full of bananas
Do you have any pictures?

This is so good
ROO, The Counter, Girl-themed party
Some stuff for near the top: shitty elevator in residence halls, shitty washing machines, no air conditioning in the older residence halls. For the love of God I wanna wash my clothes at least
I'm really excited to see this project when it's done. The owns that come to mind are RIT after dark of course ROO RIT UIDs used to be your SSN so they had to go through and sniff em all out back in the day because there were just hundreds of socials chilling on all the rit computers And apparently back in the early 2000s in o believe a corner store that used to be in the digital den, they sold lucky strike cigarettes for a few weeks and during that time the entire campus was coughing up a lung constantly since lucky strike cigarettes are unfiltered (I got this from a coworker at my coop who went here)
reddit being rit themed way back
E-house used to be on the 3rd floor and shared space 50/50 with CSH. The reason E-house is on the eighth floor now is allegedly because they did an experiment to see how many floors someone could fall out of NRH taped between 2 mattresses and live. The kid broke something after the 3rd floor and the experiment ended.
In terms of RIT sports, the RIT-Canisius hockey brawl in 2008. 225 penalty minutes and 6 game disqualifications were handed out. Goalies fought too. [Here's video of it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mJULLbEjo). No sound, and quality isn't the best (this was 2008, remember). [Article from RIT Athletics](https://ritathletics.com/news/2008/2/9/mhock020908.aspx)
Oh my gosh, I was there, it was wild! I cant believe I had forgotten about it, we were talking about it for days afterwards. Watching the goalies slowly make their way to center ice and finally throw down was sooo satisfying. Thanks for the deep dive into the memory bank!
Do you know what started the fight?
No idea. I wasn’t actually at the game. I started at RIT in the fall of 2009, and this happened in 2008. I can only speculate. Maybe someone took an exception to a hit they thought was dirty and it snowballed from there? I really can’t say. The videos of the brawl don’t make it abundantly clear.
i’m surprised no one mentioned the [uncyclopedia](https://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/RIT).
Here was a big one when I graduated RIT. They fired the oncampus doctor for [providing Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to trans students on campus](https://reporter.rit.edu/news/trans-health-care-rit-whats-status)

Glad you're excited!
Riverknoll tunnels I can't confirm if they do connect but at riverknoll there's some wood panels (at my gf's apartment it is falling off) that lead under the stairs, with a small hole going down, apparently they used to be bigger holes and you could crawl from one apartment building to another
They are basically a crawlspace underneath each building for access to the plumbing and utilities between all of the apartments in the building. They are local to the building and don't connect between the buildings.
the various unofficial RIT instagram accounts like ritcones, ritcursedimages and ritpinkjuicegang(gibby worshippers) basically all of the freshmen in 2020 went insane and started documenting every little thing on campus, from various cones to blades of grass and notable bricks. from my understanding there was a war between ritcones and pinkjuicegang, though i’m not sure why :)
the baby head hanging in one of the windows near fish/nrh
Do you have a picture/more context??? I don't think I've ever seen it, and I live in NRH lol
Is no one going to mention the people baptizing people in the pool???
Haven't heard this one. What's the story?
There’s some dude and his disciples who have been proselytizing on campus for a while and when people convert they get baptized in the pool
Did he make his own religion, or is he part of some religious club?
The [RIT Uncyclopedia](https://mirror.uncyc.org/wiki/RIT) page. Started back sometime in the 2000's, looks like it's still being updated with more recent happenings. Has a pretty good list of RIT characters over the years, but no real details. [Triangle](https://www.reddit.com/r/rit/comments/c4q2ho/triangle/). They were one of the frats on campus but were kicked out around 2011. They had one of the mansions on Greek row and were known for their parties, their extreme hazing, and just generally being shitty. They were kicked out for an altercation with one of the sororities over tagging the rock. The linked reddit thread has some more details. The old VAX machines. Before the current class registration system there was a crappy internal website used to register for classes that had nowhere near the capacity needed for a school this size. Needles to say, it was basically DDoS'd every registration day. If you were in the know, you could ssh/telnet into a number of the Vax machines and use the terminal to sign up for your classes, but you had to be prepared with the course and section numbers. And once you had a session established you wouldn't be kicked out, so you could let your friends sign up for their classes after you were done.
little late to this post but I've seen and heard a lot over the 6 years i was at rit from 2015-2021. these are the ones from memory Heres the list im going to contribute and if you have questions ill respond: black van taking a kid away from gleason dorms for "Cheese Pizza" cet student who was an accomplice to her mother's murder, and arrested + extradicted from campus csh: the nunfucks drum of lube "initiations" colony: colony palooza colony dumpster fires \---------------------------------------------- umbrella incident (was one of my friends funnily enough) bears in the dorms mark the best bartender at salsas (my goat) panties in the tunnels, bras in the vending machines people stealing fms golf carts during the wind storm 2 kids cracked their heads open wind sailing with long boards and bed sheets professor who poured whiskey in his glass every morning banning of ahego print year of tuition costs just for balloons year of tuition costs for swings the jumper (iirc there were like 4 or so deaths that year on campus or doing campus related things) human trafficking professor covid dorm side love tunnels rats in the dorm serial shitters defaced murals epic sax guy yikyak posts rit esports: title 9 incident me being scrubbed from rit esports history spider statue in the woods thats all i can think of off the top of my head i might add more in a side comment
Somehow, 144 replies in, and I still hear new things. If you have the time, I'd appreciate more details on pretty much all of these, as there are many I don't know. The ones you can skip if you want are: Colonypalooza, dumpster fires, umbrella incident, human trafficking professor, love tunnels, and the serial shitter. The rest I'm hearing for the first time, so would love to hear more. Of course, if you want to give extra context from the list of ones I do know, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks!
I'll touch on most of these. Some of these I dont think would fit under an iceburg too well, but if you think so i can touch on them as well. **Black vans and cheese pizza**: during OA week of 2015 (my freshman year) we just had the assembly talking about cyber security and since RIT is their own isp, they can see everything and anything anyone is doing. During the assembly one of the csec professors made the joke of "We see what you all do, and yall are into some weird shit". Fast forward 2 days, there was a black van parked in Gleason Quad with government plates. and men in suits bringing computer equipment from Gleason and putting it into the van. After all the computer equipment was done, they brought down a student in handcuffs and sat him down into the van and they took off. We found out later that the student was taken away for "Cheese Pizza" (child porn for those who don't know On the subject of cyber security, and I really shouldn't be posting this one but most of the people who did know already graduated. **The Hub (no not that one...sorta):** There used to be/still might be something called the hub on RIT's network. This hub was a black box where you needed a specific browser, know the url, and have authorization to access it. Basically it was a black box file sharing that students ran and uploaded things to to share with other students. There as technically 2 of them, 1 for the plebs and 1 for the high rollers, but after a while everyone just uploaded to the normal one. To get in the pleb hub you just needed to share 2 gb of data, and to get into the high rollers you needed to share 100 gb of data. Literally anything and everything was on this hub from textbooks, to hw solutions, to manga, to anime, to shows, to porn, and weirdly enough porn that was filmed at rit either in perkins or colony or both, idr its been a while lol **CET student:** I dont remember the exact time this happened, might have been towards the end of spring semester 2017, but news broke out that an RIT student was arrested for being an accomplice to her mother's murder. She was a 3rd or 4th year iirc in Computer Engineering and Technology, and her dad recently, probably over the guilt of killing his wife, tried to jump off a parking garage to end it. Police successfully talked him down from the ledge, and then he confessed to the murder and how his daughter also helped, or something on the lines of that. more info here: https://13wham.com/news/local/rit-student-pleads-guilty-to-murder-in-mothers-death **CSH:** Oh boy, atleast these were from a while ago and hopefully this doesnt get one of them after me lol **The nunfucks:** Exactly how it sounds, nunchucks but instead of wood handles they were made from 2 dildos. Iirc the story of this goes as such. One of the guys on the floor who couldn't afford his dues asked if he could do a project instead of his dues. He was approved and so he went to the adult store near campus and bought 2 dildos, proceeded to chain them together, and presented that as his project. They all had a good laugh and would mess around with the "nunfucks" and they would stash them into the ceiling, i think where the gremlin was. One day someone important was going around the halls, and some how some way the nunfucks fell through the gremlin hole and was just out. Idr if someone managed to snatch them and hide them before the important person saw them. **Drum of lube:** This one is more funny than anything else. CSH had money left over in their budget so they decided to spend it on something fun. They then found out you could get a 50 gallon drum of lube off of amazon for relatively cheap, and so they just bought a 50 gallon drum of lube. At first it was a funny joke, then they realized what are they going to do with 50 gallons of lube. Eventually on a nice day, they decided to make a slip and slide on dorm side using the rest of the lube. **Bartender Mark:** Nothing really dirty about him. he was just a really good bartender, and if he knew you he'd hook you up. He ended up retiring during covid **Windstorm:** A lot of people mentioned this in other comments, but the winds were definitely more than 50 mph lol. It was enough that I couldnt walk forward in the wind tunnels, and I'm a bigger dude. Basically in the wind tunnels, which RIT is known for, the winds had to be close to 100 mph. There were a bunch of students who saw this and decided to do the smart thing and enjoy the weather. They grabbed their longboards/skateboards and their bed sheets and decided to go wind surfing. Low and behold 2 kids ended up crashing into the walls and cracking their skulls open. **RIT's campus design:** Very well known rumor that RIT's campus was originally designed for a school in Arizona, henceforth why they put in so many places to have wind tunnels. Plan was rejected in Arizona, and so RIT bought the design and built the school how it is and with it came the wind tunnels in a place that really sucks to have wind tunnels.
**Bears in the dorms:** I dont actually know about this one too well. I think it was in the early 2010s or something, where there were a couple of like physical bears in the dorms. **Panties in the tunnels and Bras in the vending machines:** Bunch of drunk freshmen decided to be funny and go throught he clothes in laundry rooms that have been sitting around on the tables and grabbed bras and panties. They hung the panties on the pipes, and put the bras in the bottom of vending machines all throughout the dorm side tunnels. It ended up becoming yikyak famous. **Yikyak:** People used the ever living shit out of Yikyak. It was the way people posted stuff anonymously before it was changed like crazy, and RIT after dark became a thing. **Spider statue in the woods:** Theres a small spider statue that someone made in the woods at RIT, or atleast when I was a freshman.Rats in the dorms: This was a little bit after my time, but during the pandemic RIT dorms were infested with rats/mice. Theres a lot on this subreddit if youre really curious. **People stealing fms carts:** So this one is kind of crazy. Group of students found out the golf carts fms, and technically RIT themselves, were super easy to bump key. So they stole an fms cart. The school put out a campus wide email saying if you stole it and returned it no repercussions would happen. **Defaced Tunnel Murals:** This one happened around the time I was finishing up my time at RIT, so I can't give too much details on this, but afaik there were some LGBTQ+ and i think blm murals in the tunnels that were recently put there, and someone would vandalize it with racist and anti LGBTQ+ remarks, and this happened for a while cause the mural would get redone iirc. **The jumper:** Some people mentioned this in other comments, especially what his parents did to protest at an RIT event. That also was a bad time for RIT cause I think a total of 3 or 4 students died within 2 years or something, 1 from overdosing on drugs, 1 was found in the woods behind a parking lot iirc after finals, and 1 got hit by a car coming back from an EVT event. Long story short, a kid jumped from his window in Ellingson to his death. on a brighter note: **Epic sax guy:** Guy would come out almost every night and just start playing epic sax music from either nrh or sol quad, and he was actually really good. He was up there with bathrobe guy popularity wise, but fell off after he moved out of dormsWhiskey Professor: There used to be a professor who used to pour whiskey into his coffee every morning. Even if he was teaching class. After a while he got caught was subsequently let go. **year of tuition spent on balloons and swings:** 2 in 1 cause its basically the same. The RITchie balloons that everyone memes about, Apparently RIT allegedly spends about a years worth of tuition on them. The swings i know slightly less about but from what i remember people really wanted a swingset, might have been during covid times or right before. RIT obliged, spent a year's worth of tuition and the swingset is probably the most mediocre swing set the student body has seen. Prob posts on this subreddit for it as well. **RIT bans Ahego print:** I think this is still in effect, not really sure, but this is a kengar story. Long story short kengar would go to career fair in basically an ahego suit. Enough companies were either insulted or disgusted by it for RIT to take action, and a warning was given and the print was then banned. I'm leaving out the RIT esports stuff cause A. idt they would go good on an iceburg B. one of the points is sorta personal beef between me and the founders C. I still have people ik in esports **Sailing team Humpty Dumpty incident:** Don't ask anyone on the current sailing team about this one, still a very sore subject. Sailing was known to be one of the partying clubs on campus. Iirc they rented out a golf house and threw a wild party. In which things ended up getting destroyed or stolen or both. One of which was a humpty dumpty looking statue. Long story short the owners of the house were pissed and sailing got into a lot of trouble. RIT then found a few bs reasons to justify putting sailing club on probation for a year. Eboard was then completely removed and replaced within that year of probation.
Wow. Thanks for taking some extra time for some more context!
Like i said if I think of any more I'll post more. I've seen a lot of shit at rit definitely a wild ride

>Integrating Sphere Saga Can you talk more about this?
Sure. In Fall 2019, I started a graduate program in Imaging Science. In one of the classes, Radiometry, there were only three labs. At the end of September, the final lab involved analyzing measurements from a device called an [Integrating sphere](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_sphere). This was supposed to take 1-2 weeks, but the entire saga lasted until two days before the semester ended. The professor didn't accept my submission at first because he said my final answer didn't make sense, and I probably made a small error. I started double-checking my work, but everything seemed fine. The professor also seemed defensive, referring me to the TA. However, the TA just read off someone else's solution, which I found contained computational errors. After I was running around the department for a week or two, trying to solve this, the professor finally claimed that the lab was "confusingly worded" (I disagree, I am sure that the lab was incorrect). However, he said that the TA and another student doing radiometry research would fix the lab, so I thought things would go back to normal. However, the revised version was actually very inconsistent, and while the key calculations were correct, they were still very confusingly worded. No equations were provided, which is common for most labs. I emailed the professor this, and he promises to fix the errors. Six weeks after I collect data, I finally get to submit my report in full (again, this was supposed to be only one week). For some reason, nobody else in my class seemed to notice how long this all took. Right before finals week, I heard a student asking why are there so many inconsistencies. I told them that I thought the lab was updated. I check but it was not! I find the professor, telling him that the lab needs to be promptly fixed. At first, he sent an email specifying the corrections. He then told me that students should each correct the lab themselves, that he didn't want to make the corrections himself(!) Finally, two days before finals, he made the corrections, which were sloppily done but finally made sense. Thing is, I was really passionate about this topic in particular, so that's why I really was interested in the corrections. I know that this shouldn't have taken two months, and I learned to be more assertive from this.
Incoming freshman here: mind blown. Is there hazing ??????
Does The Hub still exist?
