One year, we held our initiation in one of the religious buildings on campus (I don't remember if it was the Baptist Student Union, or the Methodist Center, or what, but you get the picture). We were in a sanctuary of sorts, and there was this big huge cross hanging on the wall. We had set up part of the ceremony to take place just under the cross because it actually seemed appropriate. Well, wouldn't you know, just as we got to that part of the ceremony, the cross FELL OFF THE WALL. It scared the sister under it something fierce! We never held initiation in that room ever again.
Another time, one of the sisters was in a car accident on her way to initiation. She wasn't badly injured, but the windshield had broken, and her face was cut up. Her little sister was being initiated and she told the ER staff that she had to go, and if she felt like she needed more medical attention she'd come back. Well, at one point during the ceremony, a piece of glass became dislodged from her forehead. She brushed the glass away with her hand. Unfortunately, she brushed the glass into her eyeball. She refused to leave until she saw her little go through. She watched the majority of initiation with one eye closed. There are sisters who, to this day, still call her "One-Eye Erin".
