Fuksi points

The point of the Fuksi point card is to encourage Fuksis to partake in many aspects of Teekkarihood. It consists of a curated list of milestones one should try on their personal journey to Teekkarihood. All Fuksis are encouraged to fill out the card as much as they can, but you should not stress about filling it completely. Anyone can achieve the title of Teekkari by simply actively partaking in the biggest events of the year.

You can ask one of the captains to approve a point whenever you see one. Now and then, captains will hang out in the guild room for this purpose. If something is unclear or you are unsure, please contact one of your captains.

• Teekkari – You have earned over 10/​20 points (10 if you are staying only one semester and 20 if you are staying the whole year), including all of the ones from the mandatory category.
• Fuksi Doctorate – You have completed over 35 points.
• Double Fuksi Doctorate – You have completed over 45 points.
• Fuksi Professor – Aim for this at your own risk. To earn this, you must complete all or nearly all available Fuksi points.

Note: The point thresholds are subject to change and will be affected by how long you stay here.

Fuksi points are divided into 8 categories, and there are 50* different points available. Note that some points are only available during the fall or spring periods. You can choose to complete points from each category, with the exception of the mandatory category, from which you must complete all points to earn your cap diploma.

Your journey to collect Fuksi points starts once you receive the Fuksi point card — achievements before that do not count. One event can be used to earn only one Fuksi point, even though the event might fit multiple categories.

Wild card points are given out for exemplary achievements in the area of Teekkarihood and embodying Teekkari spirit. In wild card points we are looking for the following things:

• Teekkari spirit
• Common good
• Generating community spirit
• Reflect yourself

A wild card point does not need to fulfill all of these requirements, and points can be given based on other factors. You are not allowed to spend a large amount of money, and a wild card attempt may only include up to 5 Fuksis.

Also, we have a couple of set wild card points you can gain by:

• Becoming a member of SCI racing or sledding teams.
• Winning one of the big checkpoint crawls.
• Completing the jubilee point card.
