Cold Knight Club

Thu, Jan 20, 2011

The second annual Cold Knight Club will be inducted at Calvin College on Wednesday, February 2, 2000, beginning about 6:20 p.m. 
The Cold Knight Club will be part of the many festivities at Calvin College surrounding the annual Homecoming celebration. 
And what exactly is the Cold Knight Club? Simply put: a group of students willing to put on a bathing suit in February and submerge themselves in Calvin's "Sem Pond," a murky and muddy body of water on campus that lies between President Gaylen Byker's house and the Calvin Theological Seminary. 
Last year 50-60 students took the plunge. A similar number is expected this year, despite recent temperatures! 
During the day, two Calvin professors, Randy Buursma (above) and Don Wilson, will dig a hole in the ice. At about 6:15 p.m. students will come to the Sem Pond to register (the first 50 students get a big beach towel that says Calvin College, Homecoming 2000, Cold Knight Club). 
And then they start jumping, one by one, into the frigid waters. 
The club began last year as a way to get current Calvin students more involved in Homecoming. The idea originated with Calvin professor Randy Buursma.
