When we were getting information about initiation, our adviser told us about alumnae initiation, and our moms, sisters (already out of college), aunts, grandmas, etc., wanted to, they could get initiated too.
I was really confused because from what I read here, I didn't think alumnae initiation worked like that. They made it seem like it was really easy to do, and that it was an option open to many people. In a founding class made up of about 50-70 sisters (I'm not saying the real number in case someone can figure it out or something) there were 2 moms that got initiated as well. Is my sorority doing things completely different then others? Has anyone else heard of something like this?

I would assume (or I guess I should say hope) that any female relatives that are initiated are women that assisted a great deal with the colonization, or women who do so with the understanding that they will be active alumna volunteers. Not just "oh, isn't that nice and cute that our whole family initiated together." To me, that's making a mockery of the women who busted their butts to get that colony chartered.
