New Prexy Officially Welcomed by the NoZe Brotherhood



Were you surprised when Baylor's newest president donned a pair of glasses with a big nose? The NoZe Brotherhood is one of Baylor's oldest traditions. You should read about it so that, if confronted with their antics on campus, you are not unduly alarmed. As you acclimate yourself to the university, you owe it to yourself to check out some of the 250 chartered campus organizations. The best way to start feeling at home in the Baylor family is to find a group of kindred spirits and join in their activities. By the way, did you know there is a Kayak Polo club?
