The 丝带的传统 is held during New 学生 Orientation at the 钟楼 to recognize and celebrate the journey that brought students to 格温内斯仁慈大学. 学生 learn of the Sisters of Mercy arrival from Ireland in Philadelphia on a hot August day in 1861. 确切地说，那天是1861年8月22日. 只有10个修女，由帕特里夏·沃尔德伦修女领导. 他们的年龄从16岁到27岁不等. 他们很快乐，充满希望，只有一个对怜悯的梦想.

President D'Emilio expresses to students that she could only imagine how anxious those women must have been in a new city all alone not sure of their place and their paths. However, they had faith knowing that they were exactly where they were supposed to be. Just how the new students might be experiencing anxiety and apprehension. 当你开始你的GMercyU学生生涯时, 有信心, 就像早期的修女们一样, that you are indeed right where you are supposed to be — at 格温内斯仁慈大学 following your path. 学生 are asked to tie ribbons near the bell tower to show how they were committed to their mission of being Mercy students.
