WOW from one PAD member to another Congrats you all did a GREAT job! I am sure this will be featured in the next Reporter!
In addition to what others have already said (especially about practicing as a group-your Marshall should really pull this together for you) I would also add.... make sure you have a photographer for after the ceremony. Also having conducted 2 Induction ceremonies myself during my 2L & 3L days we always had the event catered afterwards (nothing big but something so members new & old could mingle.)
Also be sure to send the invite via the Nat'l Listserve (you never know one of the higher ups may want to come and visit!) and it would also be a good idea to ask your school's Alumni office to send an email to PAD Law Grads or post this as an update on the Alumni webpage! Lastly, we would give little goodie bags out that the new members always appreciated. You could try asking the Lexis/Nexis and Westlaw Reps. they have tons of stuff you can give as small tokens to the new brothers & sisters (I know 100 is a lot but if you have the time it really is a nice gesture)
Also the National office has some items posters, letter head, stickers, etc that can be shared in goodie bags as well! Best wishes!
The Fraternity of Firsts....
