The uniquely UMW tradition of Devil Goat Day continues this year. With classes online due to COVID-19, contests are being held virtually.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The name might sound odd to some. But for University of Mary Washington students and alumni, \u201cDevil Goat Day\u201d is tradition \u2013 one that\u2019s been around for nearly a century.<\/p>\n

And this year, as always, it\u2019s on!<\/p>\n

With courses turned virtual and campus cleared out due to COVID-19, Senior Class Council (SCC) couldn\u2019t bear to give up this uniquely UMW event \u2013 where students who graduate in odd years, called \u201cdevils,\u201d compete with those who graduate in even years, called \u201cgoats.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t let that day slide by without acknowledging the tradition that we care so much about,\u201d said SCC President Eleanor Kilmon, who\u2019s worked with her clubmates to take it online for a week instead of a day.<\/p>\n

Launched Sunday, this year\u2019s event is packed with as much Eagle pride and well-meaning rivalry \u2013 seniors and sophomores vs. juniors and freshmen \u2013 as ever. But instead of on Ball Circle, competitions take place on Instagram, with #umwdgd<\/a>. Traditional matches of corn hole, cup-pong and bull-riding give way to virtual challenges unofficially measured by re-posts and tags.<\/p>\n

Participants chose their favorite UMW traditions, locations and more for the “This or That” poll, among this year’s Devil Goat Day activities. This year’s graduating class is the first to celebrate uniquely UMW rite-of-passage rituals \u2013 Devil Goat Day, Research and Creativity Day, Eagle Awards ceremony \u2013 virtually. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>
\"Goat <\/a>
Goat or Devil, Fall Formal or Spring Formal, and Campus Walk or College Avenue, were some of the choices presented as favorites to choose from during Devil Goat Day activities, playing out this year on Instagram, with #umwdgd. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

\u201cEven though we aren\u2019t hosting this event in the traditional sense, our Mary Wash spirit is greater than ever,\u201d SCC Treasurer Lilly Lester said of the activities, designed to give UMW students a chance to unwind with friends during the last week of classes.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s \u201cspread the spirit\u201d challenge, for example, asked students to catch an object from one side of the screen and toss it off on the other. Polls, playlists and questions have participants naming their favorite clubs, sports and spots to hang out. And Thursday\u2019s designated \u201cDevil Goat Day\u201d contest offers students ways to connect with campus from afar, from painting their own spirit rock, like the big one near Woodard Hall, to submitting impressions of Dean Cedric Rucker, who introduces them to the iconic event during Orientation.<\/p>\n

But what is this Devil Goat thing anyway?<\/p>\n

Back in 1926, Mary Wash\u2019s junior class, led by Professor of Education Eileen Kramer Dodd, claimed the goat as its symbol, according to University of Mary Washington, A Centennial History\u00a0<\/em>by Professor Emeritus William B. Crawley. Not to be outdone, the seniors chose their own symbol \u2013 a devil \u2013 and the good-natured rivalry began.<\/p>\n

Much like UMW\u2019s student body, this tradition evolved through the years, eventually becoming an afternoon of field day-type events. Additions in the 1990s included a pie-eating contest, Velcro wall climb and tug-of-war battles, like the memorable match from SCC Vice President Lily Eghtessad\u2019s sophomore year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rope broke in half and sent everyone flying. No one was hurt; it was hilarious!\u201d said Eghtessad, who,\u00a0with clubmates, will share a different\u00a0type of tug-of-war battle this year, one Kilmon filmed at home with dog Abby.<\/p>\n

Rather than build excitement with posts and pictures leading up to the launch of Devil Goat Day, SCC officers planned it as a pop-up affair meant as a pleasant surprise. Assistant Director of Student Activities Crystal Rawls said the way they have handled the virtual event shows that \u201cUMW spirit can persist during the darkest of times.\u201d<\/p>\n

For SCC Promotions Director Hannah Frederick, there was no other way. The camaraderie this UMW tradition creates for all Eagles is extra special, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevil Goat Day shows the unconventional but non-judgmental community at UMW. We don\u2019t let our differences separate us, we let them cultivate us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
