ALLISON: ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AUBURN TRADITIONS, RING NIGHT, TOOK PLACE LAST THURSDAY. DIRECTOR OF AUBURN RINGS SETH WORTHINGTON TELLS US MORE ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EVENT

SOT: SETH WORTHINGTON, DIRECTOR OF AUBURN RINGS

“THE AUBURN RING IS SUCH A DEEP TRADITION FOR ALL STUDENTS. WE’RE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY ONCE YOU’VE REACHED ENOUGH CREDIT HOURS TO BUY YOUR OWN AUBURN RING. WE HAVE A LINE RIGHT OVER HERE WHERE THE STUDENTS ARE WALKING OVER AND GETTING THEIR PICTURE WHILE THEY’RE TOUCHING THE SEAL WITH THEIR AUBURN RING. EVERYONE KNOWS THE CURSE OF THE SEAL AND HOW YOU CAN ONLY GET IT TAKEN AWAY BY JUMPING IN THE PRESIDENT’S FOUNTAIN, SO WE ALSO HAVE THE PRESIDENT’S FOUNTAIN WATER UP HERE THAT STUDENTS ARE DIPPING THEIR RING IN AFTER THEY TOUCH THE SEAL.”

THE AUBURN RING IS MORE THAN JUST A COMMEMORATIVE PIECE OF JEWELRY FOR GRADUATES.

“I’D SAY FOR MOST AUBURN STUDENTS IT’S A STEPPING STONE, AND I FEEL LIKE HONORING THE AUBURN RINGS TRADITION IS JUST ONE WAY THAT YOU SHOW YOUR PRIDE FOR AUBURN.”

PARTICIPANTS WERE ALSO INVITED TO ENJOY DESSERTS, REFRESHMENTS AND A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF SAMFORD HALL. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON AUBURN RINGS VISIT THE S-G-A’S WEBSITE.

REPORTING FROM AUBURN, ALABAMA, I’M ALLISON FORAN.
