Aggie Bling - Ring Day!!!

I had a busy but fun weekend! Friday was ring day here at A&M! My friend Kristan and I were so excited to finally get our AGGIE RINGS! After you complete so many hours at A&M you can get a ring! The tradition is to dunk your ring in a pitcher of beer after you get it! I was SOO nervous about that part!

My parents and best friend Kimberly came with me to get my ring. I had to work Friday so I waited until the 5:15 time slot to get my ring. Getting your ring is a pretty big deal so everyone gets pretty dressed up!

Excited about getting our rings!

The tradition is for someone to give your ring to you - so my dad gave my ring to me!

i love the tradition behind it...at my school we just order it out of a catalog when we're sophomores. there a ring reveal because every year each class has a different signature design but i didn't go to that.
