Mine is sort of a special case, since I was offered alumna membership when my local was initiated as a chapter of Alpha Delta Pi. But I'm sure parts are similar to what happens with some AIs from other orgs.
I was in the second batch of initiates-- all of the collegians, plus four alumnae initiates-- and all of us were initiated by the then International Grand President. The Grand Council reps went through the Alpha ceremony for each batch, then the initiation procedures for each group. After that, four of us alumnae went through Jewel Degree. That was one very looooong day! The installation banquet was later that night.
It was in the chapter room in the sorority dorm. Trying to get everything closed off from other sorority access must have been fun. We ended up borrowing the chapter room of one sorority next door in order to be able to do everything (there were four CRs on each wing of the main floor).
I *heart* Jewel Degree...
It sucks that ADPi was only on campus for six years.... I hope that they'll one day return to Valpo.
