I was actually wondering about this...

I know that we have a ceremony that is open- our chapter offered to perform it at the memorial service, but the family declined. She had already planned her funeral, and we respected that. I don't know exactly what it entails, however. I plan on finding out. I do know that it can be performed for colligates or alumnae.

I think a more common detail is the usage of red carnations (or whatever your GLO's flower is). There was a wreath of them at the front of the chapel, and a red carnation adorned the front of the bulletin.

The woman who died was an alumna of the Alpha Chi chapter at our school, and had made incredible impacts at the school itself. She'll be sorely missed.
