I was in chapter over a decade ago (yikes) and TFJ was well known then and I know plenty of alumnae who know what it means. On the flip side (and on one of the EXTREMELY rare occaisions that I agree with 33girl), alumnae who are not involved as an alum and have been removed probably wouldn't remember. However, this is a great opportunity for her to re-engage and be encouraged to rediscover TFJ.

This really depends on your new member experience. If a chapter doesnt "tease" their NMs with TFJ, the NMs may not necessarily know to listen for it....and then of course, you've got those people who go in one ear and out the other, or arent paying attention during initiation, and as soon as it's over they say "Okay, so is someone going to tell me what TFJ is now?" Seriously? Where you not just paying attention? Do you think the ceremony is just a bunch of words to take up a chunk of time out of your day? Ugh.

So the one time I dont add one last snarky sentence to my comment, and of course it changes the whole meaning of what I wanted to say...

I didnt mean for my post to sound like I was directing my question at Clemson Mom to imply that she wasnt paying attention. I meant that I knew a girl, from my own chapter, who as soon as the ceremony was over, she asked that question "Okay, what does it mean..." I didnt want to say that on here, but as a result of not saying it...my comments was misinterpretted. For that, I apologize....

I still cant imagine that 30 years from now I wont remember what it means....Other things, maybe, I'll forget....but THAT? No.

My chapter didn't tease us with TFJ at all. In fact we didn't even know that we were supposed to be wondering about it.

I think unless you're looking for it you can definitely miss it during initiation. I know I missed the ritual, probably because my big kept telling me the ritual involved water bottles and flour so I was looking for that but....

I finally found out that there was even a TFJ during the next pledge class' initiation.
