The Traditions at Hood are deeply rooted in the college, which was established in the 1800's. It used to be an all women's school, but now the student population is about 60/40 women/men. One major tradition that Hood is based on is the pergola, a giant vine-encompased walk through in the center of the campus, where it is said that friends cannot "split the poles" with other friends or they will no longer be friends when they graduate.
