A UVA Guide For Streaking The Lawn And Succeeding

Streaking the lawn has been a UVA tradition that has been going on for as far back as anyone can remember. In your time at UVA you may find that on a Friday night, after having one too many, you may want to participate in this beloved tradition and scratch it off your bucket-list. If that is the case, these are the 5 steps to make sure you streak the lawn successfully!

1. Strip down and keep your clothes safe

Don’t just toss your clothes somewhere and pray that they are there when you get back. Chances are, someone will move them or hide them on you. Instead, strip down and give your clothes to a friend or someone you can trust. The last thing you want is to be fully exposed running around campus post-streak.

2. Run Forrest

Run like Forrest across that lawn and hope that the boy/girl from your Bio class doesn’t see you. Take it at your own pace. The last thing you want to do is take a tumble while you’re butt naked.

3. Kiss that ass

The tradition is to run by Old Cabell, around Homer’s statue three times, and literally kiss his ass. Chances are you won’t be able to reach it, so pretending to is fine. No one has to know that you actually didn’t kiss him.

4. “Pretend” to run up the stairs

Unfortunately, the original route up the stairs has been blocked off due to work being done, but pretending too run up them counts.
