September 20 at the Volga Academy of sports was dedicated to first-year students. Pass the "rite" that includes a series of very difficult trials, and wished many brave "pervaki". After everyone gathered at the launch site-on the second floor of the training and laboratory complex - the participants were divided into 14 teams of 10 people each. The principle of recruitment to each team is simple – students should not be familiar. On their faces painted decals, and then began entertainment. First, dancing. All who do not know how or do not want to dance easily forced and taught: each standing in place of the student was forced to drink a "delicious cocktail." The truth in its composition were not the usual ingredients: the Foundation served as tomato, pumpkin and carrot juice, granulated garlic, cloves, mayonnaise, Bay leaf and coffee gives the drink an indescribable taste that the kids will remember forever.
Teams were sent to the territory in the vicinity of the educational and laboratory building for initiation. Freshmen expected 5 tests that must pass, following his handler. And here the guys are faced with an unexpected discovery: the curators and organizers are not on their side. This considerably complicated the task solution: eat half a watermelon without touching it with the hands; to stand in push-up position, perform push-UPS, half of them sophomores were not counted; all together to climb over the rope (for understanding teamwork); between bottles, pre-pocruises and losing coordination. At the same time, the subjects performed tasks under a hail of eggs, flour, porridge, which were thrown at them by the organizers.
And, as expected, at the end of the "rite" dirty and wet freshmen took an oath, sitting in a circle. Fastened with tape, they answered the questions of their mentors. After the oath, the boys were supposed to hug their supervisors. Despite all the "hardships", the past dedication were happy and satisfied:
- I really liked it, emotions were over the edge. Had a lot of unexpected competitions. But most of all I was surprised by the last stage, when we were on our knees, saying the words of the oath, and flour was pouring from above and eggs were flying.
Well, now freshmen can proudly say that they have become real students.
