"Pinning of the Petals"?
Delta Alpha chapter posted its first newsletter (on FB). There's a reference to "pinning of the petals." One of the chapter members said it's "a pre-initiation ceremony."
That's a new one for me -- I'm curious. Do other chapters do this? Do they use real petals? Silk petals? Pinned to the initiates or to a banner or something? What do the members say as they pin?
