LSU

TIP Campus

In 2017, Louisiana State University made its debut as a TIP Academy campus, replacing Rice University since Rice was changed to a center campus. Tipsters stayed at Cypress Hall and ate all meals at The 5. Dances and TipSync were held at The Barn. Classes were held in various locations around campus. Most traditions founded this year were based off of Rice Term 2's traditions from last year, considering most tipsters from Rice chose to go to LSU.

History

Louisiana State University (officially Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, commonly referred to as LSU) is a public coeducational university located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The university was founded in 1853 in what is now known as Pineville, Louisiana, under the name Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy. The current LSU main campus was dedicated in 1926, consists of more than 250 buildings constructed in the style of Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, and occupies a 650-acre (2.6 km²) plateau on the banks of the Mississippi River.

LSU is the flagship institution of the Louisiana State University System. In 2015, the university enrolled over 26,000 undergraduate and over 5,000 graduate students in 14 schools and colleges. Several of LSU's graduate schools, such as the E.J. Ourso College of Business and the Paul M. Hebert Law Center, have received national recognition in their respective fields of study. Designated as a land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant institution, LSU is also noted for its extensive research facilities, operating some 800 sponsored research projects funded by agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

LSU's athletics department fields teams in 21 varsity sports (9 men's, 12 women's), and is a member of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) and the SEC (Southeastern Conference). The university is represented by its mascot, Mike the Tiger.

This was extremely difficult, but due to their massive courage and balls, the girls achieved their goal. They proceeded to hang out in Liamborghini's mold room and played lemonade pong, paranoia, and dare or dare. These sneakouts continued to happen throughout the last week and on the second to last night, the group of Mason, Chelsea, Divya, Sofia, Liam, Erick, Marcus, Caden and Lil No No stayed in Liam's mold room until sunrise and left at 6:30am, thus getting no sleep.
