I was just reading in the Chat thread about an
Alpha Chi Omega's funeral, and to my knowledge, we don't have one.
IF it's a private ritual, please don't post yours, but I am curious - do most GLOs have something of this sort? Or are brothers/sisters' passing noted at Convention?
One of the reasons I ask is, when I was in school, one of our sisters died. She knew she had a (then) incurable illness, and between when she found out (in July) and when she died (in October), she planned her funeral. She didn't want any flowers; she wanted money to find a cure for pph. When a group of us went to the funeral home, I somehow got pulled down to the kneeler in front of her casket, and right in my face was a bouquet of violets in her hands. Next to it was a card in her handwriting, saying, "To ___, Love & Loyally, Me".
That shook me up to no end!
