I wanted to know if having a Neophyte is just a Midwest thing. (Yes I do know that the definition of Neophyte...A person who just crossed into Greekdom) but in Illinois we have what you call a Neophyte.(this is totally different from a "coming out show, or a probate show which we also do) That's when you have a banquet at either a Ball Room, or a Hall and the neo's dress up in fomal gowns/dresses or tux/suits for the Fraternities). You also do a step show , skits, presentations to your Dean and AD (oops did I say that???)
(
) and to your ships (or if you are from other regions called your LS's (Line Sisters) or LB's (Line Brothers). The night usually ends with gifts first from all the other Greek organizations (AKA's ZphiB's, SGRho's AphiA, KAPsi.....) Then you get gifts from family, then friends, then your spec's then sorors.
I am just curious to see how many other regions participate in this?
I remember when I had my neophyte (it wasn't that long ago just in FEB and I got a LOT and I mean a TON of gifts. Now I see why my chapter have the tradition of not buying any gifts/paraphernalia until your neophyte. Even the gifts from the other organizations were nice as well. I have a Room FULL of gifts and no where to put them!
