Participation
Sign-in in the Seminary Student Center on Friday before 5:30 pm. Plan to wear coats and shoes until ready to jump. Say the pledge with more than five hundred other jumpers. Fully submerge yourself in the pond. Grab your Cold Knight Club towel and run for a hot shower (or another jump).
All those who participate in the Sem Pond Jump for four years become a member of the Golden Towelers. Check the Golden Towler's page to see a historical list of jumpers. Each jumper receives a Golden Towel and has their names placed on our hallowed rolls.
The Pledge
All those who wish to become members of the Cold Knight Club recite this oath, led by Prof. Randy Buursma, before the plunge into the Sem Pond begins:
We promise to leap into the Sem Pond,
Surrendering ourselves to the icy waters,
And embracing our falleness as creatures.And when the waters cover our entire body
And our feet are mired in muck,
We will be given the grace
To emerge from the depths
As lifelong members of the Cold Knight Club.Having attained our reward,
We will serve our fellow humanity
Knowing that we have gone
Where few dare to tread.All for one,
one for all.
History
2010 marks the 12th annual jump into the Seminary Pond. Over two-thousand people have jumped at least one time during the past ten years.
