Pi Day
While celebrating Pi Day (March 14, or 3/14) is common in many Departments of mathematics, in the University of Waterloo it is also celebrated in the summer (on July 22, or 22/7, this being Pi Approximation Day) and in the fall. This was done so that each term - Winter, Spring, and Fall - has a Pi Day. Typical activities include throwing pie at MathSoc executives and/or popular professors, viewing mathematics-related films, competing in Pi recitation contests, and eating pie. (On 22/7, cake is served instead, which is approximately pie.)
