Jewel Degree

[polarpi]

This is just *my* opinion, but since the ceremony is primarily directed by alumnae members, I feel that the alumnae should have probably the "most" say in when Jewel Degree is conferred. Our chapter's Alumnae Relations chair worked with the advisors to organize the date (because at the time I was a collegiate, we didn't have a *very* local AA nearby to conduct the ceremony) and then the graduating seniors were sent invitations inviting them, and they needed to RSVP to the Alumnae Relations chair who in turn let the advisors know how many would be there. I understand wanting to give the graduating seniors every opportunity to participate in going through Jewel Degree, but because the alumnae have to organize it and conduct the ceremony, the date and time needs to work for more than just three alumnae members.
