[[Flunk Day]] is an annual spring carnival.  Planned by two students and a small number of administrators, the date of [[Flunk Day]] is kept secret from the campus until the morning of, when the bell in Old Main rings and a cadre of seniors known as the “[[Friars]]” who are now gathered together about 15 minutes before the official start of [[Flunk Day]] by the student planners run around campus blowing whistles and pounding on doors around 5:45 a.m. for the 6 a.m. beginning. In years past, [[Friars]] were taken the evening before [[Flunk Day]] for a night of merriment and then they were returned to campus to wake everyone up. However, since the school is trying to tone down [[Flunk Day]], the [[Friars]] are now only given 15 minutes to get wasted.

Supposedly the best flunk day scare ever was when a small group of students broke into Old Main and began ringing the bell. Recent Flunk day scares have been tame at best, with little to no effort put into actually convincing the students that it was truly flunk day.

=== [[Pregnancy Scare Day]] ===
 
[[Pregnancy Scare Day]] has continued with few interruptions since its conception in the mid 1920’s by Knox’s female students.  It was originally begun in opposition to the all male group of flunk day organizers, however has continued since the inclusion of women in  planning in the mid 1980’s.  The exact date of [[Pregnancy Scare Day]] is determined by a secret group of upperclassmen women.
