Traditions

Due to John Burnet Hall's small size, its residents form a close-knit community each year.^{[original research?]}

Its traditional events include three annual balls: one held in north-east Fife's Fernie Castle at the beginning of the first semester, the Hall Ball towards the beginning of the second semester, and the Traditions Ball held near the end of the second semester, although, these balls were sporadic during the Covid-19 Pandemic.^{[citation needed]}

The hall colours are green and blue, and the hall's official animal is a moose.

The hall's traditional songs, chants, and traditions are generally taught to new residents within a week of their arrival in September in preparation for the annual 'Clan Warfare' event. Hall songs include the hall anthem John Burnet, La La La and Oh John Burnet is Wonderful (to the tune of When the Saints Go Marching In.) ^[6]

In addition, the hall maintains a form of rivalry with nearby University Hall. A rivalry which is referenced in the aforementioned 'Oh John Burnet is Wonderful'.
