LOGAN -- Students at Utah State University broke the world record for the "longest kissing chain" this weekend.
The university says 1,450 people filled the quad Friday night to participate. The previous record of 303 participants had been set at a school in India earlier this year.
The USU Student Alumni Association planned and carried out the event as part of homecoming week. It's now waiting for official word from the Guinness World Records.
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.
