Message: [QUOTE="GreekFreak, post: 3164366, member: 6887"] This article is lacking. While it explains the origins of where AT imported the clapping tradition from it doesn't tell the whole story as to why. We had another tradition at the time that the SU administration found embarrassing and wanted to abolish. Specifically, as the opposing team starting line up was introduced our student section would chant a reply after each name was announced. Some of the replies contained obscenities so the hand clapping was introduced to replace the existing practice. At least that is my recollection as a student at the time. But "The SU Hey Song"...
