This is the legend I heard: Years ago, Rag Week was a week dedicated to charity, in which college students went door to door or set up booths/events in rags to collect donations. One year, someone didn't have money to give, so they offered drink. The college students took it, of course, and then thought "what a grand idea!" So the next year, they asked for drink as well as money...soon, Rag Week became a huge-ass drink-fest of 24/7 alcoholic debauchery.
Yesterday, Rag Week started.
