Ours was called Senior Sendoff. I have no idea why a high schooler would be interested in it. Of all aspects of greek life, there are a lot that are more interesting and important. I couldn't write six pages on Senior sendoff if you paid me too. Not to mention that it totally varies from chapter to chapter and isn't official in any way. Weird.

Anyway, hopefully she's just kinda young. Alphafrog, she hasn't been crazy or rude yet or tried to stir up anything, let's at least try to play somewhat nicely.

We put ours in a viking boat, lit it on fire and floated it off into the ocean...oh wait...

On the serious side, we did a senior night where everyone was voted Most Likely to ______ or Best ____ something funny/fitting for each senior. Sometimes littles would give speeches but my year we had a much-missed pledge class member who had to leave school (went alumna) during our sophomore year come back and roast us. WE loved it, I bet the freshmen had NO clue what was going on.

Some wonder why Greeks have an image problem...

I went to one last spring. Our alumnae group attends so that we can show the graduating collegiates how they can continue to participate in Greek life after they leave college.

As someone else said, each of these send offs vary from chapter to chapter. The one I went to was called a "Strawberry Social." The alumnae bring chocolate covered strawberries (strawberries are one of our symbols) and other desserts. We explain to the seniors what opportunities are available in the alumnae chapter and invite them to affiliate with us.

Then, each graduating senior has an opportunity to tell the group what was most special to her about the fraternity. There are lots of laughs and tears during this time. The girls are given presents from both the collegiates and the alumnae.

This is an open event-- relatives who are not Zetas sometimes attend.

ROTFL!

We had Senior Wills, which was a dinner followed by the Seniors "leaving" bequests to various sisters. Some of it was nice and some of it was nasty. I left something semi-nasty to someone that was more memorable by my saying it than by what it was.

Afterwards, the latest Alpha class would host a dessert to leave it on a "sweet note".
