During its 93 years as a men's residence, Gate House developed a distinct character and reputation.

These antics included pranks, toga parties, streaking, caroling to other residences, hazing rituals, " beer bashes " and " incessant pounding " on the Gate House table in the dining hall.

Paul Gooch wrote that these traditions gave Gate House an " ethos " that contradicted his vision of residence life.
