Formal dinners are different for different colleges, but the universal is that they're a tradition. Corpus's formal happens once a week, on Friday nights, and the sign-up is by lottery. If you're lucky enough to have your name, along with the group you signed up with, chosen off the list, you get to attend a fancy three course dinner! It's really great fun; everyone gets suited/dressed up and the food is delicious. Last night was the first time I've gotten the chance to go to Corpus's. The only other formal I've attended was Brasenose's, which is much less formal but also occurs three (?!) times a week. Hopefully I'll have the chance to go to a couple more before this term is up. Here are a couple of pictures!
