Pinky Pledge Closing Ceremonies (September 8) – Carleton University Waiver

The EngFrosh pinky pledge is optional and symbolic portion of EngFrosh Closing Ceremonies where participants dedicate themselves to the pursuit of the iron ring that one receives after completing their degree in engineering. The Iron Ring is worn on the pinky finger of the dominant hand at the end of an engineering degree, so participants dye the pinky finger purple (the color of engineering) at the start of the degree. The dye used is non-toxic, diluted body paint, and can be removed from your skin by scrubbing with soap and water. We encourage engineering students and all FED students to participate as it is a fun, optional tradition. The completed waiver can be brought in person at Fall Orientation Check-In or sent to waivers@engfrosh.com.

PINKY PLEDGE WAIVER

 

Additional blank waivers will be available at Fall Orientation Check-In should you not be able to complete these in advance.

Please contact us at fallorientation@carleton.ca with any questions you might have about completing either waiver. For programming questions, please contact our EngFrosh Directors at info@engfrosh.com.

We look forward to hosting you for an exciting week of activities.
