===SexPowerGod===
Each year, Brown University's Queer Alliance throws a raucous party called SexPowerGod in a university building. Although many students are intoxicated, alcohol has historically not been served at SexPowerGod. In 2005, the event was covered by disguised reporters for [[The O'Reilly Factor]], causing bad publicity for the university. The Queer Alliance was placed on probation for a year and all student groups were hence prohibited from throwing parties in Sayles Hall.<ref>http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2006/04/27/CampusNews/Chaos.And.Management.Failures.Marred.Sex.Power.God-1880141.shtml?norewrite200605012032&sourcedomain=www.browndailyherald.com</ref>
===Naked Donut Run===
At the end of every semester, a group of naked students walks around the campus's libraries giving out donuts. The administration and library security turn a blind eye to this rampant public nudity year after year. <ref>[http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/brown-university/traditions.html]</ref>
===April 20===
Every April 20, in the celebration of the so-called "420" "holiday", many Brown students gather on the campus's central quad and smoke [[marijuana]]. Campus police officers and administrators stand by idly and watch the illegal activity for a few minutes before gently herding the crowd away, with no consequences for those involved.<ref>[http://blogdailyherald.com/2010/04/20/4173/#more-4173] Brown Daily Herald</ref>
