Julie, welcome to ADPi.
Well, it's been a long time since I was initiated (5 years), so I honestly can't remember.
But it just seems to me that things I would consider private, some don't. (Hope that makes sense).
The only time I talk about my alphaship and initiation in detail is with other sisters. I only spoke of very brief and general things to non sisters (friends, family).
what I mean by things I consider private, an example would be our blessing. On the regular GC board someone started a thread asking about chapter blessings. People willingly posted theirs. An ADPi posted ours, but I somehow felt that it shouldn't have been posted and that the other chapters shouldn't have posted theirs. Maybe it is just me but it seems to me that a chapters blessing should be kept private.
Julie, if you have questions at all, my best and only advice is to go to your new member educator. She is there to help you out, to answer any questions you might have. Of course we will also answer anything too.
