In my HS we had service organizations like Anchor Club and Key Club, which are (I assume) off-shoots of GLOs. I know in Anchor we had a ritual initiation and were very selective about whom we invited to join. GPA and extra-curricular were taken into consideration also. We had interviews with alums and had to write an essay.

I went to a college with no GLOs but transferred to a larger U and then for post-grad and was always interested in college sororities. A colleague of mine in grad school told me to ask about post-grad recruitment (she said 'rush' was verboten)? I never heard of that. Is it a real thing? I won't reveal the org. in case it's wrong info. But I love the histories behind your orgs. and think it's a really interesting concept.

I especially love the symbolism behind the flowers and colors. I love the book by Geri Laufer "Tussie Mussies" which reveals the medieval and rennaissance meanings behind many different flowers and how the combinations of these flowers contained hidden meanings.
