i would just find out the time and place of the ceremony and plan to be there an hour before hand. meet with the officers and tell them you are an alum and you would like to pin your badge on your daughter. i don't think that it would be necessary for you to stay for each ceremony. my daughter and another legacy whose mother attended were initiated in the first ceremony. i was able to visit with her for a bit afterward and then i left and had a nice dinner with the chapters general advisor and another alumna that i know in birmingham. all the new initiates had to stay , but i was there thru the weekend so we were able to have a good talk about the ceremony and a good visit the next day.
frankly, i wouldn't worry about the other legacy-if her relative is not going to attend, they should be able to have her initiated with another new member. i vote that you go. whether the chapter is used to having alumnae attend initiation, they should be falling all over themselves to accomodate you. please go.
