Question for Alums
This might sound a little dumb, but when you are an alumnae member, can you still watch Initiations and when you join an alumnae chapter, is there anything special that they do when you first join??

To answer your first question:
You can still watch initiations. I know that my collegiate chapter asks for the local alumnae help during initiation. We've had a few alum members come back to initiate their sisters, cousins, etc. My chapter had a special "ceremony" during our last week of school for the graduating seniors. The local alum took us out for dinner and gave us gifts and told us about the alum chapter. I think that's all they do though. Admittedly, I haven't joined officially joined alum chapter. :o Shame on me. |
Yes, you can still attend initiations and all other rituals.
There is an alumnae initiation ritual - if you didn't have this ritual when you graduated from college, ask you local alumnae chapter to perform it at the first meeting of the year! It's a nice, open, ritual. |
My chapter did the Alumnae ceremony for us. It was great and made us feel like "Official Alumnae." I couldn't imagine not having gone through it.
But, the collegiate chapter here does not do the ceremony. They wait until you join the local alum chapter. Then, the alum chapter does the ceremony. If you have the opportunity, I would definitely recommend going though the ceremony! Edited because I didn't spell "feel" correctly and I am a freak about spelling:) |
YES! Alums can go to initiation. As a matter of fact my mom (Beta Psi 1960something lol) came to my initiation and participated since she was a previous chapter president. I couldn't have asked for a better day! :) \^^^/
