Colgate Day!

Every Friday the 13th is Colgate Day - the number 13 is considered to be lucky by students and alumni alike. Apparently the college was founded by 13 men with 13 dollars and 13 prayers in 1819. Fun fact - Colgate is the 66 oldest college in the United States.

Well Colgate students aren't triskaidekaphobics (yes, this is a real thing - people who fear the number 13), they instead celebrate Friday the 13th by wearing Colgate gear...and dressing their babies accordingly! Oliver says Go 'Gate!!
