Optimist Prime and I have been putting together some ideas for the Gamma Chi ritual. Here's the problem: I doubt that we'll be able to put together a good, solid, meaningful initiation before the end of the semester - given that it's already late April, and people are already taking finals etc, and who wants to be initiated during finals?

But we have a good idea for a new member ceremony, which would enable all of us to quickly become "official" new members of Gamma Chi without waiting for the initiation ceremony to be finalized.
So here's the poll:
1. Should we have a new member ceremony? (yes or no)
2. If yes, when do you think initiation should be held?
- Within a couple of weeks of the NM ceremony
- Some time over the summer, with another initiation to be held for anyone without internet access over the summer
- Some time in the early fall
All of us would still be considered charter members / Alpha pledge class / whatever, no matter when we are actually initiated. We will have to have several "sessions" of the ceremonies anyway, to accommodate different school/work schedules, different time zones, etc.
