The Reception (Mottagningen)
The first thing that happens for new students at KTH is the reception. The reception consists of two weeks full of activities, events and parties almost every day from early morning to late night. It will be filled with stuff to do, both for fun and for education, such as the introduction math and chemistry courses KTH offers.The reason we do this is for you to feel welcome at KTH and the chapter, quickly get in to the life as an university student, it is also a means for you to get to know your new classmates as well as older students. It is very important for you to know that everything during the reception is voluntary. That being said we strongly recommend you to participate as much as you can. You will not regret it! After the first two weeks you will be enrolled and your studies will start for real.
The reception is NOT to be confused with the hazing (nollning) which have taken place at KTH many years back and that still take place at high schools in Sweden. We are strongly against hazing and don’t take part of activities related to hazing. Everything is for you to have as much fun as possible. Every year, many of the Chapters agree on a set of rules on what is permitted during the reception set by THS.
Kompis (Faddrarna)
KOMPIS stands for Chemistry's Official Moms and Dads in the chapter. We will be your guides and help you around during your two first weeks here at KTH.
stöttis (funka-faddrarna)
Stöttis is a project group working for equal inclusion in the reception. Our goal is that everyone should be able to participate on their own terms and that support should be available wherever needed.
