Bryn Mawr women, or as they are affectionatly reffered to by those they know and love as
Mawrtyrs, has a
Quaker background, along with the other members of it's tri-college community
Haverford and
Swarthmore.
Bryn Mawr is very close with
Haverford, to the point where it is extremely common for students from
either college to take a class at the other. There is a
bus that runs between the two colleges in the
bi-co as it is reffered to by
students and
faculty of both
colleges, approximately every
half-hour during the school day and about every
hour up until midnight or so on weeknights. This is reffered to as the
Blue Bus as it is a
bus and it is
blue.
Mawrtyrs have many odd customs and traditions including: a May Day ceremony including a May Pole, lots of women in white dresses, and live entertainment.
It is universally accepted that Mawrtyrs are a little off from the norm -- depending on who you talk to this can be excellent or a bit of scary. You make the call. Visit Bryn Mawr.
