Basic Taylorisms

There are a lot of things we abbreviate at Taylor, or acronyms that we often use. Here's a list of the basics you should know:

  1. DC- Dining Commons
  2. DTR- Define the Relationship (Between a girl and a boy, in which questions like "Where is this relationship going?" and "Are we friends or something more?" are asked.)
  3. LTC- Life Together Covenant, which all students at Taylor sign and are bound to. Hopefully, you already know about this one.
  4. Walking the Loop- When done with a member of the opposite sex, sometimes includes a DTR. Be prepared for many prying questions when people find out.
  5. KSAC- Kesler Student Activities Center (the gigantic building across from Bergwall and the DC)
  6. Fieldhouse- The building between the football field and the baseball field
  7. The Well- The excercise room in the KSAC
  8. Sammy- Samuel Morris Hall, also referred to as Morris. Divided into floors, not wings, because "Wings are for girls... and angels."
    1. Foundation
    2. Sammy 2
    3. The Brotherhood, or Bro-Ho (Expect many strange outbursts and traditions from this floor- if any shenanigans are going on in the corner of the DC by the deli, it's probably them.)
    4. Penthouse
  9. Berg- Bergwall Hall
  10. Swallow- Swallow Robin Hall
  11. Wengatz- John C. Wengatz Hall
  12. Olson- Grace Olson Hall
  13. English- Mary Tower English Hall
  14. Gerig- Les Gerig Hall

There are plenty of other abbreviations for other buildings on campus, but most are fairly obvious. Any others you've heard and wondered about? Let me know in the comments below.

Good start on the "isms." I didn't know that about Sammy . . . the floors vs. wings thing.
