What is the Big Dip?
The Big Dip is a rite of passage for upperclassmen held at the end of the fall and spring semesters. DIP stands for "Dipped In Pride”…purple pride that is! With water from the Stephen F. Austin fountain dyed purple to represent Lumberjack pride, students receive their rings and celebrate their achievements with family and friends. Anyone who has received the SFA ring can participate in the Big Dip, no matter when they received the ring. This year marks the 22nd anniversary of this popular tradition.
