Surely, there would be parts of membership selection (and therefore ritual) in both, but it doesn't follow that the entire process is ritual.

The parties would not be membership selection. Setting up for them is not membership selection. Breaking them down is not membership selection. The process of how we decide who receives invitations and bids is membership selection.
The process by which we select our candidates for alumna initiation is membership selection. The Quarterly article states that, yes, we have alumna initiation, and alumnae and collegiate chapters should bring women that they think are outstanding candidates forward. But the process of how petitions are actually approved, and what our exact criteria for approval/denial of petitions is MEMBERSHIP SELECTION.
