Trinity is the last undergraduate college at the University of Toronto that continues the tradition of [[formal (university)|Formal Hall]] during the academic year; [[High Table]] dinners are usually held after [[Evening Prayer (Anglican)|Evensong]] on Wednesdays. Before the meal, one of the Student Heads or another positioned member of college (in order of precedence determined by seniority) is responsible for saying the Latin [[grace (prayer)|grace]]: ''Quae hodie sumpturi sumus, benedicat Deus, per Iesum Christum Dominum Nostrum. Amen.'' (May God bless what we are about to receive this day, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.) Formal Hall is marked by the enforcement of a number of regulations known as “Strachan Hall Etiquette.” The most evident of these is the dress code, of which Trinity's distinctive academic gowns are the essential element for all members of college. In addition to the wearing of the gown, men were historically required to wear a jacket, collared shirt, long pants and a tie, as well as close-toed shoes. If a member of college has had the honour of being "{{not a typo|poored out}}", they are then permitted to wear their tie tied on the remains of his gown. For women of college, the dress code consists of a similar prohibition on open-toed shoes. The dress code is not longer enforced on all students, though there still is a healthy encouragement to 'dress up' if at all possible.<ref name="Trinlife2007">[http://froshweek.trinlife.org/files/Trinlife.pdf Trinlife 2007] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071128145406/http://froshweek.trinlife.org/files/Trinlife.pdf |date=2007-11-28 }} Casey Gorman and Josh Chung.

The various points of etiquette are enforced by the second-year students, led by the Heads of Second Year. The Second Year students act as “deputies of the hall” and are in charge of enforcing the dress code as well as maintaining discipline during the meal. Any student in violation of the dress code will not be allowed to enter the hall until they are dressed appropriately; this regulation is relaxed for non-resident students. The second year students also have the authority to physically eject any student who causes a ruckus during the meal.

In parody of the college's [[Oxbridge]] traditions, the first year students would occasionally disrupt the formality of the meal by hurling buns at their fellow undergraduates. When this occurred, it was the job of the second years to eject all offending first years, or occasionally fellow upper years, from the hall. This was generally done with much struggle, however with little injury to any of the parties concerned. As the artillery was traditionally limited to simple [[bread rolls]], no significant damage results from these incidents.<ref>Watson, Andrew. ''Trinity, 1852-1952.''
