The Beta Chapter begins each chapter meeting by stating the objective. We end every meeting with the prayer.
After all business is taken care of at meetings, we open the floor for special sister nominations. This gives girls the opportunity to keep the chapter members informed on what their sisters are up to. We also have these other areas that follow nominations: Hogwash (funny stories about sisters), Joys/Concerns. This way, even if you haven't talked to a sister lately, you still know what's going on in her life.
If any of our actives ever get lavaliered, engaged, married, etc...the president is informed, but the other actives are not. At the next chapter meeting, we gather in a circle afterwards and sing the circle song while passing a lit candle around. After one revolution, our president says: friendship. The candle continues making revolutions with the subsequent things being said: Lavaliered, Engaged, Married. If the girl has become engaged, she waits until Engaged is announced. When she is passed the candle, she blows it out. This signals that she is engaged, and all the sisters congratulate her.
There aren't a lot of other traditions that I can think of right now, but if I remember more, I'll let you know.
