Coverall Baptism
Helga members get this event at half price!
In this event we are using coveralls
Why are we having this event?
Back in the days coverall baptism was an official event to baptise the coveralls where students ran to the baltic sea after the coverall oath. Then they got the official right to use their coveralls.
Nowadays the tradition is still on though it is encouraged to use coveralls at the start of the studies and you don’t have to actually baptise your coveralls to get the patch called Kastettu (baptised). Arriving to the event and doing the coverall oath is enough!
What is The Coverall Baptism?
Helga’s coverall baptism is a tradition which is held in the middle of the series of events called Helga’s 8 May Day. During the event there is a checkpoint race for you to tour with your classmates. In the checkpoints you will do different kinds of tasks and challenges to get the checkmarks for your score card.
The checkpoint race climaxes in the coverall baptism. There is a ceremony where all the freshers swear a coverall oath with Helga. After the ceremony the bravest dip the legs of their coveralls in the sea. When the baptism is done, all the participants get a patch in recognition of that they have been baptised (“Kastettu”). Later you can sew the patch to the back of your coveralls so everyone can see your coveralls are baptised.
How can you participate?
You can get the tickets for the Coverall Baptism from Kide.app. More info about the schedule, ticket sale and the event organizing will be informed closer to the May day via Student Union’s communication channels.
