Traditionally, guests also contribute with beverages and dress in green.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.amiv.ethz.ch/content/st-patricks-eve-celebrations-2012-zürich |title=St. Patrick's Eve Celebrations 2012 in Zürich |language=de |publisher=Zurich Student Association |access-date=20 February 2012 |archive-date=15 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140315174049/https://www.amiv.ethz.ch/content/st-patricks-eve-celebrations-2012-z%C3%BCrich |url-status=dead }}</ref>
