I can speak from personal experience. I don't know what it's like for the giggles' sorority, but in ASA, after you're initiated, the chapter has to send in a form to national headquarters that says your date of initiation, your chapter number, full name to appear on certificate, address, etc. It doesn't seem like a big deal at all, but you have to keep in mind that initiation is usually done at the end of the semester, right before finals and term papers are due. If your president has a test in two days that's worth 40% of her grade, sending out paperwork for the new initiates just isn't a priority at that moment. Plus, it's not always that easy to track down all of the girls and get them to fill out all of the paperwork. It took a while for us to get it done and there were only 9 other girls initiated with me. Imagine what it must be like with a new member class of 35+.
