My chapter in the past year has really made a full scale effort to return to our traditions of song. The actives know pretty much all the songs- when I got to meetings I sometimes don't know all the words they do.
This is a great thing. It not only sets a good tone for chapter meeting, but all the serenading they now do in coat and tie is a chance to show all the sororities they are true gentlemen and will be good stewards of the world in due course.
Most of my life I have rebelled against social custom in many forms, but as I get older I have more appreciation for it- and I welcome and encourage a more formal approach to the Beta experience at my chapter.
