On Thursday, April 9, 2015, all Auburn Students are encouraged to join in Auburn’s newest tradition: Ring Night.
Ring Night will begin at 6:56 p.m. at Langdon Hall when the Auburn University Official Class Rings are placed on the Auburn Seal in order to gain the Auburn Spirit and also receive the curse that comes from touching the seal.
Ring Night festivities will officially conclude at 7:30. At 8:15 p.m., the rings will be removed from the seal and will await the reversal of the curse that will take place at Ring Ceremony. The time 6:56 corresponds to 18:56 in military time, which is symbolic of the foundation of Auburn University in 1856. The time 8:15 corresponds to 20:15 in military time, which symbolizes the rings removal from the seal in 2015.
At the Ring Ceremony on Sunday, April 12, ring recipients will dip their ring in a bowl of water from the President’s Fountain in order to reverse the curse that was placed on the ring after touching the seal, but maintain the Auburn Spirit that their ring embodies.
All Auburn students are encouraged to join us at Langdon Hall to help continue building the foundation of this tradition! Hot chocolate, apple cider and cookies will be provided to attendees.
