When did this change occur? We called it the latter but my kid has never heard it called that before.

In the 80s, it was dunking.
To me, christening implies something religious or sexual.

I'm from the same general era as you, so I guess both terms were used back then. There's an article from the Batt in 2021 that uses both terms. Hmmmm. . .
Went to several dunk parties this spring when my kid got hers. Never heard any of them referred to as a christening
I just remember going to the Pavilion and picking up my ring, and going back to class.
No dunking, christening, or whatever.

C/O 2008; never heard it referred to as a christening, although I guess that's the umbrella term for what you're doing when you dunk it.
I thought christening was when you put your ring in your finger and then put your fin......nevermind
Late '80s. Both terms used interchangeably

What nerds call it a christening?
"Dimpled for her pleasure!"
Wtf? It's a ring dunk.
My kids graduated in '13, and they called it a ring dunk. This thread is the first place I ever heard "christening".
Bris is what we called it
in '88, we said christening. at least me and all my friends. "dunking" was not heard.
I didn't' read a poem and then smash a bottle on it.
Dunking; only phrase I have ever heard for the Aggie ring.

Ring dunk, christening is new army crap!!! In the late '60's and early '70"s there was no such thing. Hell, we didn't even have a Dixie Chicken!!!

Mine has become smooth.
I christened mine by using it to open the beer bottles for the dunk.
Class of 2004.
We called it a maiden voyage.

You just activated the CharpieStaff bat signal.
Ring dunk in 2008. Never heard christening until this thread.
Given that Little Feat released "Dixie Chicken" in 1973, you did indeed have one for the very tail end of the early 70s.aeon-ag said:

'90. It's been a long time but pretty sure we referred to it as "going to the Chicken to christen your ring".
