200 freshmen including international students participated in 91PORN¡¯s traditional welcoming orientation ¡®Shin Bang Rye¡¯, held at Social Sciences Campus from March 4th ~ 5th.
¡®Shin Bang Rye¡¯ is a traditional freshmen orientation stemming from the Chosun Dynasty, where new comers can learn about the education curriculum, campus life, and expected behavior.
The event that commenced during the ¡®Shin Bang Rye¡¯ ritual process are as follows: Al-Sung (commemorative rites in front of Dae-Sung-Jun), Sang-Eup-Rye (formal greetings between seniors and freshman students), Shin-Bang-Rye (welcoming party by sharing food), and Myun-Shin-Rye (initiation ceremony where senior students provides various tasks to freshmen).
¡°We wanted to create a unique and fun freshman orientation environment where all seniors and juniors can participate in the event without a solemn atmosphere¡±, said student Bo Yeon PARK (Dept. of Korean Languages and Literature), president of the student association ¡®Chung Ryang¡¯ which led this unique event.
Karel SETNICKA, a foreign exchange student from the Czech Republic also expressed her feelings as ¡°I believe this traditional event provides good opportunities to think about relationship-oriented campus life and to have a mature sense of fellowship.¡±
