Learn your SU Traditions!
National Orange Day
National Orange Day began on March 24, 1994, in commemoration of SU Founders Day. Alumni from around the world are asked to show their pride by sporting the color orange on the University's anniversary. SU students and others participate in service oriented activities. Organized by the Traditions Commission and the Office of Alumni Relations, this day has hopes of being a legacy for years to come. This year will be extra special since it is the 150th Anniversary of Syracuse University's founding! We will have several events throughout the academic year to celebrate, including 150 Days of Service, new building openings, and our Orange Central event during the Clemson vs. Syracuse football game weekend.
