Being part of ritual is a right of an active member in good standing and women in the new member period are not usually able to see that until they are initiated.
DPhiEs philosophy has been that new members are members--and so we allow new members to participate in teams and meetings and begin contributing to the sorority right away--with the exception of voting, attending ritual etc. We try to remove the hierarchy of membership by philosophically putting new members on the same playing field as active sisters. I agree with you--how its written is a little confusing.
