This happened the semester before I was initiated, but this story always comes up when it's time for Initiation!

One semester, two novitiates had a little too much fun after Fireside. They stayed out late and didn't get enough sleep for the 9AM Initiation. The following morning, they could barely stand up and keep their eyes open. Both sisters nearly passed out mid-ceremony.

It didn't help that a member of IHQ's INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL was present at that Initiation! She was in town for her niece's wedding and was able to make it to the Initiation ceremony.

So now I need to remind those without common sense--IF YOU KNOW THAT A MEMBER OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL WILL BE AT YOUR INITIATION CEREMONY, IT ISN'T WISE TO PARTY PARTY PARTY THE NIGHT BEFORE!!!
