The last post on here is right on with the policy. We do allow chapters to have additional ceremonies. As stated they are to be called a CEREMONY as we have RITUAL which all chapters do. The ceremonies can be altered chapter by chapter, the RITUAL is the same.
The only reason for anyone to need to contact the National HQ or National Officers on any new ceremonies is to
a) Share them so that we can have the information available when other chapters make requests for similar ceremonies. Currently, the officer dealing with the gathering of those ceremonies is Kimbi Sigle, National VP for Special Projects (her e-mail address is on line)
and
b) We do keep like to hear about them to make sure there's no potential for hazing in a new ceremony. Not saying this is the case for this ceremony. Just a comment.
Thanks...y'all keep up the chattin'!
