AViCo organizes the Frietkarborrel, a social drink where you can get yourself some nice chips (French fries) and a snack for dinner such that you don’t have to worry about that yourself.
And the best: if you are a first year you even get one item for free! If you are still hungry after that, it is €2,- per additional snack or portion of fries.
We welcome you all to come somewhere between 16:30 and 20:00 to the Frietkarborrel at the Simon Stevin field (between the Markthall and the pond). No need to sign up! There will be enough fries for everyone!
Even if you do not have a calculus midterm you are welcome to join and get some nice food and a couple of drinks.
We hope to see you all there, AViCo
Continue readingAfter a hectic introduction week where you have (hopefully) made a lot of new friends it is time to really start your student life. And no student life without studying. However, you might already heard a lot of concepts you have never heard of, like "Canvas", "TE Timetable", "Plan App" or "Osiris". But don’t be afraid! There is no need to worry. Attending this training will teach you all the basics you need to know to survive all the software at the TU/e.
In case there are more then 120 people that want to attend, there will be a "first come, first serve" policy. In that case the remainder can view the session online.
Don’t forget to bring your laptop!

The celebration of academia is a tradition that dates back to ancient times. This university also participates in these cheerful celebrations every year. However, while the celebrating public gathers in the Blauwe Zaal, Hèt Dispuut opts for a celebration with a more intimate and traditional ambiance, where the true academic spirit can flourish.
Fraternity "In Vino Veritas" cordially invites the members of the association to celebrate the start of a new academic year together. This year, Amuse cards will be sold, which feature a selection of refined Dutch delicacies.
On September 2 from 5:00 PM, I.V.V welcomes you for an evening of conviviality and good taste. In addition to the delicious amuses, Hèt Dispuut will provide you with (sparkling) wine and other snacks, to stimulate good conversations that look at daily affairs with a critical eye.
In honor of this occasion, we kindly request that you wear appropriate clothing.
Proost!
Quaestor B. Henkemans der Dispuut "In Vino Veritas"

We will hand out the books from 12 o'clock onwards. To ease the wait between the laptop and book pickup, we will provide some free lunch, and games for you to play. So meet up with all the nice people you met during the introduction week and reminisce about how fun the week has been and look forward together to the start of the academic year.
When you pick up your book, you will also get a voucher for a free soda or beer. You can only use them at the social drink that afternoon, which starts at 16:30. So make sure to hang around!
You can find us outside on the field between Metaforum and Atlas, next to the pond.
If the weather turns out badly, we will move inside to the GEWIS room

Make sure to bring GEWIS-clothing or a membership card so that we can easily identify you!
Continue readingAre you excited for summer, man?
The BAC is excited for summer, man! And how can you better enjoy summer than with a beach? Well, by not having to bike all the way to Best! For us, even walking to the IJzeren Man is too far. No, for this ultimate summer experience, you don't even have to leave the campus!
But do you know what the problem is with most beaches? Sand! We don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and annoying, and it gets everywhere. However, the whole beach lounging thing is pretty great.
Can you picture it: beach chairs, cocktails, beer that doesn't cost 8 euros, Desperados, music, and more. That's why the BAC presents the perfect solution for everyone who really wants to enjoy summer: the "Strand zonder Zand" Party.
Can you already see yourself in a beach chair with an ice-cold Desperados or a cocktail, enjoying Playa del Atlas at its finest! Then be sure to come on August 15th with your sunglasses to the best beach without sand.
Continue readingNext week is the interim exam period. Of course you need a nice place to study. You might think about going to the crowded library, but we have a better idea!
From Wednesday August 7th until Friday evening August 16th you will be able to study in MF3.103, and MF3.105! Of course, this is awesome because:
Tea and coffee are seconds awayYou can use our books to study (ask the board before borrowing please)You can work together with your friends and ask advice from those who have already mastered the courses you are currently working on!One of the rooms will be a designated silence room, and one will be for collaboration.
Hope to see you there and good luck with your exams!
Continue readingDear GEWIS'ers,
At this point, you might have started to worry, as the summer has started already some time ago and you haven't seen our lovely yearly activity happen yet. But please do not get anxious, as the time has finally come to drink some wine in this lovely weather, and enjoy yourselves by throwing some balls.
This year, "In Vino Veritas" is organising an even more exciting "Spel met Ballen", as it is combined with an activity that we are well-known for, the Month'like drink. This means that while playing the lovely game with balls, you can enjoy a very nice glass of wine and even the usual delicacies of the Month'like drink.
Together with a partner, you are able to subscribe in order to participate in the official "Spel met Ballen" tournament and battle other teams for a chance to win the challenge cup. Beware though, the subscription list closes the Sunday before the activity.
Don't worry though, if you're not up for playing a couple rounds on the field, you can also just come and enjoy the borrel.
We hope to see you on the field,
Fraternity "In Vino Veritas"
Continue readingDear drinkers,
About a month ago the BAC had a fantastic time behind the bar at the BorrelXL. Here one could enjoy delicious beer, viper, soft drinks but also wine. Unfortunately, the latter was not enjoyed as much and so the BAC has an abundance of wine (after a mistake by the buyer).
Now we are not I.V.V and we just want to have an abundance of beer. That's why we decided to sell it for a promotional price of €5.00 per bottle. You can walk up to a BAC member to see if they can grab a few bottles for you.
Thank you in advance!
Greetings,
Sven Mokveld, buyer of the BAr Commission s.v. GEWIS
Continue readingOn June 28th a new online-only season of Wie is de Mol starts and we want organise a small competition to see who is best at finding the Mole.
Every week after the episodes air (2 per week on Fridays) we will send a short survey with questions about the Mole and you have until the release of the next episodes to answer them.
After only a few weeks we will find out who who the Mole was on July 19th and that is when we will crown our winner too.
The TV-show is in Dutch, but English subbed episodes usually arrive pretty fast somewhere on the internet. So if your Dutch is no good but you are interested and still want to join that should be possible and we will try to accommodate.
The episodes can be watched for free at npo.nl/start and more information about the season such as the announcement and a list of the participants can be found at: https://wieisdemol.avrotros.nl/nieuws-item/onbekende-nederlanders-op-zoek-naar-de-mol-in-oman/
Continue readingOn the 4th of July, we will host the inauguration drink for the 43rd board of GEWIS! During the inauguration drink, a lot of external associations, the department board, GEWIS bodies and members can come to congratulate the new board. We will celebrate their installation with a night full of free beers and amazing memories.
For the inauguration drink, we do need a lot of volunteers. We have to empty the room, protect the board and guestbook during the drink and bring the board home after the drink. We would like to know whether you are available for any of these tasks. Please note: bringing the board home means you are sober. If you are available, please fill in this form.
The obligatory infomeeting, at which everything about the order committee will be explained, takes place on Wednesday June 19th from 12:40 till 13:20. The location will be announced later!
Note that for non-volunteers, the borrel starts around 19:00 (the internal part).
If you have any remaining questions, send a mail to orde@gewis.nl.
