Ring Dance

Aggie Ring Each year Ring Dance is held for the Senior Class. The name reflects a milestone at the end of the Senior year. Although Seniors have been privileged to wear the cherished Senior Ring ever since they attained 95 credit hours, as of Ring Dance they may wear it differently. Up to this point, Seniors have worn the ring so that it faces them when their hand is palm down with fingers pointed away from them. Ring Dance represents the end of their senior year when they can turn the ring around to be readable by others.

This tradition began with one room of entertainment. Now there are an average of seven rooms of entertainment with a variety of music from swing and big band to piano bar and country western.
