The alumni association says kissing is part of the "True Aggie" tradition at USU. That title is given to those receiving a kiss under a full moon at midnight by somebody who is already a "True Aggie," or on Homecoming.

  The Guinness world record for the longest kissing chain was achieved by 303 children from the Podar International School (India).
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most people kissing simultaneously: 39,879 - in an event organized by Gobierno del Distrito Federal, at the Zocalo, in Mexico DF, Mexico.
  The world record attempt was organized by the USU Student Alumni Association as part of homecoming week festivities.

  At one time USU held the record for "most couples kissing at the same place at the same time."
  "I thought we could organize another world record pretty easily," said graduate student Michael Wilkey.
"We're Aggies; we can do anything when we're united!" Wilkey, with the help of the USU Student Alumni Association, planned and carried out the event
