I received Jewel Degree at Convention in 99 (Naples II) when I was attending as an advisor. My chapter never had it in the years I was there. It was *awesome*!

THIS year, I had the honor to officiate the ceremoy at Gamma Pi (Wagner College, SI) - answers below are for this J.D.

1) Where was Jewel Degree held? At the Chapter's house/room/suite or whatever? At a private home or restaurant?
At the Faculty Dining Room in the Union on campus. It was following a Founders' Day luncheon that was a deduction to the Deltas' meal plans and moderatly priced for the Alumnae. We used partitions for privacy.

2) Did an Alumnae Association invite the Seniors to Jewel Degree, or did the Chapter tell the Alumnae when & where it was going to be held?
I'm one of the chapter's advisors and the chapter advisor and I worked with the Alum Relations Chair to plan the Founders' Day/Jewel Degree. Working with our district Alumnae Directors, we had members from two other area alumnae associations.


3) About how many Alumnae showed up for Jewel Degree?
Including myself, 10 alumnae conferring the degree, thre alumnae showed up to receive the degree, with 9 seniors.


4) Any other comments on Jewel Degree?
It was my first time and it was so exciting! It was even more amazing than I had remembered!! I had an interesting spiritual experience during it, but will have to tell that tale OFFLINE!
