Pet a Freshman Day

The day of December 3rd, when all upper-classmen (high school & college) adopt a Freshman, as if they were a pet at the homeless shelter, and pet them, like a pet bunny, but more domesticated.

Day that takes place on the first Friday of December that is dedicated to "making freshman feel more inferior than they already are" by petting them in a loving, non-harmful way. The best petting occurs with the little ones, getting a solid pet right on their heads. It is made even better by shouting "You're so adorable!" in a high falsetto during the pet.
