Take Back the Night, often abbreviated to TBTN, is a march that takes place every April during which students (mainly women) demonstrate that they're opposed to violence.
If one is on campus, it is impossible not to hear their annoying womanly screams and blasts of rape-whistles. If one is off-campus, it is impossible not to have one's conversation interrupted by the blast of their police escort's siren and the traffic chaos resulting from closing down various bits of Morningside.
In a reversal of the historical direction of sexual segregation, men were banned from taking part in the event for many years. Since 2008, they have been allowed to participate in the second half of the event.
