My Initiation was held in the oldest building on campus which was very pretty most of the time. Lots of things have changed since then but at that time, we used only candlelight, which was no big deal because it was late morning on a Sunday. This day though, it was really stormy so there was no natural light to speak of. There was one part where we individually kneeled on a cushion for a vow. Just as the gal in front of me kneeled, there was a HUGE crash of lighting/thunder and everybody just stopped in their tracks and then the giggles set in. The President got herself composed and continued. When I kneeled, everybody just kind of stopped again, like they were waiting to see if it would happen again. The President and I made eye contact and the giggles took over again.
I can say that, as a regional officer, one of the most interesting parts is going to all the Initiations and seeing how they botch it. I had one chapter tell me one year "We voted not to wear white this year" HUH???
