senior SENDOFF
we had a whole week of programming before the actual senior ceremony.
we called it de-pledging week, where the other sisters made us do crazy stuff around campus (take a teddy bear to class, wear an ivy crown on our heads) during the day, and then in the evening there was always an activity planned, that the seniors HAD to attend. we had relay races on the lawn of some apt. bldgs, scavenger hunts, we went ice skating and other outings.
all that started on monday, on the friday evening each family got together in the cafeteria for dinner, then we had a cocktail party where our families gave us our paddles and read us a letter. lots of smiles and tears, at that one. then we all went home and got ready to go out and hit the bars, with the other sisters acting as sober committee.
our local alumnae group wasn't involved, and i don't know why, but there is a whole ceremony for inducting the graduating seniors into the alumnae 'world' and it's quite beautiful, so i would suggest doing a combination of all of this. it's really fun, and a memorable sendoff.
hope this gives you ideas!
