The Red Lady Run

A top-secret Huntingdon tradition that dates back many decades, each year the sororities take turns initiating the Red Lady Run, wherein the designated "Red Lady" leads a brigade of screaming college women in a run throughout the residence halls.  This event usually happens around Halloween, and is done in homage to Huntingdon's famous "Red Lady" ghost of Pratt Hall, made legendary in the book, 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey (University of Alabama Press, 1969), written by alumna Kathryn Tucker Windham, Class of 1939, and the late Huntingdon English professor Margaret Gillis Figh.  Before returning to her residence hall from her annual haunting, the Red Lady usually stops at The Delchamps Residence so that the president can acknowledge her presence on campus.
