The Purity Test has long been a fun and meaningful bridge between Orientation Week and real college life at Rice. It gives students a relaxed, voluntary way to connect with their O-week groups, share experiences, and build friendships. At the same time, it lets them reflect on how their lives and experiences evolve throughout their college journey.
