Some are completely naked. Most prefer wearing socks and/or shoes. Female streakers often wear a [[thong]] or a [[g-string]], and streak topless, and a few choose to wear a [[bra]] as well. Male streakers are mostly wearing nothing but a pair of shoes. Many streakers wear a [[mask]] nowadays since filming the event has gotten easier compared to the days these traditions started. 

[[Carleton College]] is home to the streaking traditions Week of Streak (founded spring 2020) and Nudegressive. The week before finals, students streak each night at dusk to sundown at various locations around campus. These streaking locations become increasingly ambitious, or public, as the week goes on. Week of Streak culminates with Nudegressive, an event that takes place at midnight on the eve of [https://www.carleton.edu/admissions/blog/rotblatt-2019/ Rotblatt]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Admissions |first=Carleton |date=2019-06-13 |title=Rotblatt |url=https://www.carleton.edu/admissions/blog/rotblatt-2019/ |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=Carleton Admissions |language=en-US}}</ref> with around 200 participants who streak a 1 mile loop through [[Carleton College Cowling Arboretum|Carleton's arboretum]] followed by a nude dance party at the [https://www.carleton.edu/giving/reports/recognition-levels/oaks/ Hill of Three Oaks]<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carleton |first=Giving to |title=Three Oaks Society - Carleton College |url=https://www.carleton.edu/giving/reports/recognition-levels/oaks/ |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=www.carleton.edu |language=en-US}}</ref> bonfire.

[[Dartmouth College]] has two streaking-related challenges: The Ledyard Challenge, in which students [[nude swimming|swim naked]] across the [[Connecticut River]] and [[nudity in sport#nude running|run nude]] back across the bridge,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.dartreview.com/archives/2005/08/26/the_week_in_review.php |website=The Dartmouth Review |title=The Week in Review |date=26 August 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061020045901/http://www.dartreview.com/archives/2005/08/26/the_week_in_review.php |archive-date=20 October 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and the Blue Light Challenge, in which streaking students attempt to press the alarm on every one of the campus's blue light emergency phones.<ref name="thedartmouth">{{cite news|url=http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=2005111805030|newspaper=The Dartmouth|title=What are we talking about?|date=6 April 2007|first=Jilian|last=Gundling|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202215202/http://www.thedartmouth.com/article.php?aid=2005111805030|archive-date=2 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> As of 2005, a Thursday Night Streaking Club regularly streaked at various events and public places.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Patinkin |first=Adam J. |date=15 May 2005 |title=The Naked Truth |url=http://www.dartmouthindependent.com/archives/2005/05/the_naked_truth.html |website=The Dartmouth Independent|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070204123635/http://www.dartmouthindependent.com/archives/2005/05/the_naked_truth.html |archive-date=2007-02-04 }}</ref>

In 1986, the [[University of Michigan]]'s [[Naked Mile (event)|Naked Mile]] celebrated the last day of class with a group streak across campus along an approximate one-mile path. At the height of its popularity in the late 1990s, between 500 and 800 students participated, including several hundred females. Over 1,400 students participated one year and well over one thousand during another year.  However, due to enforcement of [[public indecency]] laws and pressure from administration officials concerned about increasing spectator crowds and videotaping, participation declined. By 2001, a mere 24 students participated, signaling the effective end of the Naked Mile.<ref>{{cite web|title=The History of the Naked Mile|url=http://www.nakedmile.com/history.html|author=Torin Dewey|website=Naked Mile}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=December 2019}} Students were warned by college administrators that streakers would be arrested and required to [[Sex offender registries in the United States|register as sex offenders]] for life under [[Megan's Law]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.charmandrigor.com/clips/playboy-earnest.html|title=Charm And Rigor — Richard Morgan<!-- Bot generated title -->|access-date=16 October 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703064329/http://www.charmandrigor.com/clips/playboy-earnest.html|archive-date=3 July 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=December 2019}}

The students at [[Union College]] held midnight "Pajama Parade" events in 1862, 1914 and several times in the 1950s. The real streaking tradition, which was nationally popular since 1973, arrived at the campus in the 1990s in the form of a nocturnal lap around the [[Nott Memorial]] known as the "Naked Nott Run."<ref name="union">{{cite web|url=http://www.union.edu/About/traditions/pajama.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511232301/http://www.union.edu/About/traditions/pajama.php |archive-date=11 May 2008 |url-status=dead|title=About/traditions/pajama|access-date=29 January 2014}}</ref>

To celebrate the school year's first night of heavy rainfall, a well-known tradition called "First Rain" is enacted at the [[University of California, Santa Cruz]] by students who for the entirety of the day to midnight, run around campus nearly or completely nude. Beginning at Porter, the run proceeds throughout the other colleges.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cityonahillpress.com/2006/10/12/a-naked-run-through-campus/

At the [[University of Vermont]], a Naked Bike Ride is traditionally held at midnight at the end of each semester. Participants run, bike, unicycle, carry kayaks, push shopping carts, or pull sleds. The topic of the Naked Bike Ride has been a touchy one among UVM police, who have tried several times to do away with it. In 2011, Interim President John Bramley ended school funding for the event.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uvm.edu/~presdent/letters/Bramley%20Memo%20to%20UVM%20RE%20Naked%20Bike%20Ride%2011-17-11.pdf|title=Naked Bike Ride|author=A.

At the [[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]], students gather on the 8th floor of Davis Library the night before finals. At 12:00 AM, all students gathered on the 8th floor strip naked and run down the main stairwell and outside to Wilson Library. After reaching Wilson Library, the streakers sing the University's Alma Mater([[Hark the Sound]]) and run back to the 8th floor of Davis Library.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Students bare their thoughts about student-led tradition of streaking |url=https://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2024/06/lifestyle-streaking |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=Students bare their thoughts about student-led tradition of streaking - |language=en-US}}</ref>
