The tradition of Texas A&M graduates getting a ring began with the class of 1889. The unofficial tradition of dunking that ring started somewhere in the late 1970s. Some graduates of the university don't put on the ring until they first dunk it in beer. This dunking, which the school does not endorse or encourage, is supposed to be done just once.
