Last semester, one of the MITs was out of town during a wedding when the rest of her class was initiated, so we initiated her the following Sunday.
We didn't have a pianist, so we had to use a tape of the music for the ceremony. The president asked, Lucy (we'll call her), the girl who was running the cd player, if she knew how to do it 500 times, I swear. Well Lucy swore up and down she knew how to do it and even got mad at our President for being so nervous about it. There's this part, w/o giving away too much, where this music is played and the sister's taking part in the ceremony circle around the initiates telling them more and more about our secrets. Well, time comes for Lucy to play the music and it never started. We all stood there in silence kind of just looking at each other for half a minute. The president, who thought very quickly on her feet, began humming the tune so that we could begin the procession. I swear I almost laughed my ass off. Finally, two rounds later, the damn music began. I felt so bad for that initiate. Not only did her ceremony get a little screwed up, but she also had mono. :o |

Also, my chapter used to run two initiation rooms at the same time, since we usually had new member classes of at least 50 girls. We would use our suite as "home base" where everyone could leave their stuff and the new members could wait, and borrowed the two neighboring sorority suites to run initiation. Girls in those chapters were warned NOT to enter their suite on that day, and we blocked off the hallway and put signs up all over the place - including OVER the doorknob. But still, every year, someone from one of the neighboring chapters would wander in during our initiation ceremony, stop like a deer in headlights, and turn around and run out. I never understood it - they would have to get past the sheet blocking the hallway and REMOVE THE SIGN covering the doorknob - wouldn't you maybe realize you shouldn't go in?? |
ok, just one equation: moths+candles= really priceless moment and nasty smell....
really kinda makes for a good ritual blooper if you think about it... |

I don't know why, but it's tradition at my chapter to have at least one woman pass out during initiation. Unfortunately, I was one of five during mine. :( |
While I can not say a whole lot one of my Sorors almost knocked over a table.
Then no later than 5 minutes later I walked out of one of my shoes because they were too big and I had to have them at the last minute. That part was really funny:), but I dared not laugh. |
one day during our process the room we usually had our meetings in was reserved. being resourceful, i offered use of my dorm room for the day. well....at a very solemn, quiet point in the meeting we noticed a loud moaning coming from the room above us. sure enough, as we stayed quiet, we realized that there was a couple above us having very...vocal sex. we all laughed our asses off, even though we got fussed for it. i mean, how can you just stand there listening and NOT laugh after awhile?

One year, we had ours in a hotel banquet room which had one of thos retractable walls and it was on a sunday morning. Next to the room was a very loud church service with gospel singers with tambourines and all. It's hard to keep a straight face when all you can hear in the background are gospel songs and the occasional "praise jesus". The best part of the day was after the new members were finished being initiated, one of them asked if the gospel singers were part of the ceremony -- and she was serious.

Also, during one Initiation my chapter was visited by a fairly high up national officer, and we were on strict orders from the chapter president to be on our best behavior (stifling the usual giggles, etc)...which was really really difficult considering the national officer was wearing a very visible BRIGHT PURPLE BRA & UNDERWEAR underneath her Initiation attire. |

A member of my chapter walked into Initiation obviously not wearing any underwear. It was very distracting to everyone in the ceremony b/c you could see her the whole time. (She was a brunette and this was in the days before brazilian waxes, if you know what I mean...) |

I can't go into too much detail, but when one of the sisters came to take my pledge class into the initiation room, she was sooo serious! (completely out of character for her). She was in her ritual attire, and we thought that was kinda funny. The whole thing scared us, b/c we weren't expecting it, and we tried so hard not to laugh! I think Alpha Gams will know what I'm talking about.

We had an OPhiA ceremony at an alumna's house one semester. It's a long, emotional ceremony, with everyone sitting in a large circle. After a while, you started to notice sisters along one side moving in, with strange looks on their faces. The circle became very deformed. No one could even pay attention to the ceremony - you wanted to know what was going on over there. They looked like they were going to throw up. Apparently, the alumna's sickly and very old dog had gas and was farting uncontrollably on that side of the room ...

When I joined my late sorority, I wasn't saved.
Giiiiiirl, I made 71$ and scored two condoms. THe girls had their purses in the corna of the room. The room was all dark, I sneaked back there and had myself a field day. |
