DolphinChica (and anyone else to whom this applies): will you be able to go through your Circle Degree in the future? And if you feel I'm too close to ritual, please ignore me!
We have Jewel Degree, named after one of our first national presidents, as our "active to alumna" ritual. If someone misses it when they're a senior, they can still receive it at a later date, no harm, no foul.
I hope that you'll be able to enjoy your ritual in the future, too!
And blueangel - I hadn't heard your story. Thank you for sharing, and congratulations on finally becoming an alumna!! If your heart's in the right place, I'm sure your crown is, too!
