In Greek mythology, Nemesis is the goddess of divine justice and vengeance. Her anger is directed toward human transgression of the natural, right order of things and of the arrogance at the roots of such acts. Nemesis pursues the insolent and the wicked with inflexible vengeance.
She is portrayed as serious and fierce; in her left always a whip, a rein, a sword, or a pair of scales. She is given the epithet Adastreia, "she whom none can escape"
We who represent her are lead by the benevolent Rami Ibrahim (psycho) who is 3rd year electrical. Jayne Deschamps (fruitcake) and Brendan Simons (BJ) are your assistant head facilitators. Jayne is 3rd year enviro, and BJ is 3rd year mech. When shit happens, their revenge is swift.
From Rami:
My name is Rami and I am the head facil for
Nemesis. I am looking forward to guiding you through your
first week of university. I have assembled a kick ass team of
people that will offer one of the best weeks of your engineering
career . This is going to be my third year of frosh
activities, and I am looking forward to it.
Who am I? I am a 3rd year electrical. I
love Calculus...you'll see why later. I am a pianist and
my favorite musician is Michael Jackson. Who knows maybe
he’ll make an appearance during the week. During my
second year, I helped design and build the Fastest concrete toboggan
in north America. GNCTR baby !!!! (Great Northern Concrete
Toboggan Race). I am Egyptian, so you can call me
Ramsis. I love Ultimate frisbee. Pinky and the Brain is
the best cartoon. I’ve traveled all over Europe, North
America, and a little in Africa and Asia. I speak 3 languages
and read 4. My favorite drinks is scotch on the rocks and Gin and
tonic.
You're in for the
time of your life. Open your heart, clear your mind and brace
yourself.
Ladies and
gents....welcome to engineering.
From Jayne:
Some stuff about me: I'm in 3rd year Enviro, I've been an active participant in Frosh activities since my first year, I've done some co-op stuff, and I've volunteered for I don't know how many things to get my name out in the community. ULTIMATE rocks!, I try to rollerblade when I have time, and I can make a mean Fettuccine Alfredo. I like butterflies and Eeyore, and I want to drive a Shaguar when I grow up and get big! All I have to say, is this year will ROCK!!! You folks are in for a great time!!! Minime...stop humping the laser beam, Minime..

From BJ:
So you're going
to University eh? Worried about living on your own?
Scared of leaving your family? Afraid of social acceptance? Anxious
about impossible courses? Not sure whether you want to spend
the next four years of your life breaking your back to make the
grades your parents expect for the money they're spending, without
any old friends to lean on, in a school so big your student number
is bigger than the population of Kanata?
Well friends have I got a cure for you.
Beej's genuine, bona-fide, anodized and breathalyzed post-secondary
anxiety remover!
This
frosh week you will have enough fun to last you a hundred
exams. The friends you make will work better than any stress
pill, and they'll last the rest of your
life.
You
may even find you like engineering. I do. Heck I've
gotten tools for Christmas every year since I was fifteen.
I've spent so many hours pouring toboggan-grade concrete, welding
bicycle tubing, sketching zany inventions, coding, partying at
Ollie's and explaining to my artsie girlfriend why I do this, I've
forgotten how to sleep. And I love it.
So come one come all. Step right up to engfrosh 99.
You're in for a helluva ride :)
The other Nemites border this page. Each was hand picked for their knowledge and experience in having fun. Even now, with planning and fundraising, they are preparing our conquest of Engfrosh 99. Nemesis is the most powerful frosh god ever to be seen by Carleton. We are destined for greatness!
Until next time, for those who dare.
