An entire section dedicated to "Cheers and Yells." Among the yells are "Glory, Glory!," "Reck Teck," and "Going Back (to Athens Town)."

There are rules of sportsmanship that all participants in UGA athletics, both Varsity and intramurals, must adhere to.

"Learning the scriptures of the Bible are essential to a complete education."

Lastly...."The University of Georgia has over a century of traditions and honors. Each class, and each individual, contributed to this background. A higher type of state, national, and world citizenship must exist because of what you contribute to The University of Georgia."
