Short for Unofficial St. Patrick's Day, this is an event held each March at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This is the largest local drinking holiday in the United States. It was created due to St. Patrick's Day being held over
U of I's spring break. Students from across the country visit
Champaign-Urbana to take part in this, as their schools do not consume as much in an entire decade as
U of I does on Unofficial.
"Dude, don't you love going to
IU?" - Indiana Student 1
"No, I am going to
U of I this weekend to celebrate Unofficial. I wish I had gotten good enough grades to
get in there." - Indiana Student 2
"Yeah, you're right. They are better at academics, athletics, AND they have way more fun." - Indiana Student 1
