It would make sense that this local had a symphony since they were originally a Chi Omega chapter.

So they were originally a Chi Omega chapter, then went local, then went national again? (I assume with another org?)

Did I miss that part of the story or did you all know that randomly?

Randomly! Chi O shut down a couple of years after I graduated.

I never mentioned it in the story. ChiO actually sent us a letter back to tell us that they weren't interested, or else they would have gotten first dibs. The local's founders were the last class to initiate into ChiO in 1992, plus their pledge educator. Wanting to keep their newly found bonds of sisterhood alive, they formed a local sorority and wrote all of the rules and rituals. From what I have heard through the generations, our rituals were "very ChiO".
I think I knew that ChiO has a symphony, but just forgot it at the moment. Come to think of it, I must be forgetful in general because Alpha Chi has one too. Duh. 
I will have to see if I can find my digital copy of the ZYS symphony. I have a printed one that is in hinged 5x7 frame with my AXO symphony on my desk at school.

I can't imagine being initiated into two groups. Do you have a preference toward AXO versus ZPsiSig ritual? You don't have to tell us which one you prefer if there is....I'm just wondering. I know I'd compare the two if I were in your shoes!

I'd love to read the ZYS symphony...cuz SAI has one too!
And, AOII--I definately have a preference. SAI and Phi Sig are so different in so many ways. There is a ritual that speaks to me much more over the other.
But, I love them both in different ways for different reasons...it's hard to explain.

At one time I might have had a preference, but the two rituals are so radically different that it's almost impossible to compare. Both sets of symbols hold special meaning to me. (In fact, I'm planning on getting two tattoos this summer... one of a peacock feather and one probably of three stars. )
The differences really are interesting, and I would love to be able to do some sort of research project to compare many different groups' rituals, even though that's impossible.

I know this. I'm just curious how "similar" the two might be!
