High Phis and Pre I....

You should contact your Educational Leadership Consultant for the materials on the Exoteric Mysteries. Those materials contain a number of very impressive pre initiation activities as well as instructions about how to put those activities on and how to make the pre initiation activities a meaningful part of the Call to Brotherhood Associate Member Education Program.

One of the things my Zeta does is visitation night.

They take the neophytes around to all of the places where our old houses were or where we stated meeting.


LOL, one is now a Taco Bell and another is a parking lot!

Hmmm.....two of our former locations are now beautifully paved parking lots, another is now a new apartment building...only 2 of the 5 houses I knew of are still standing....we were a little rough on the buildings, I guess....

My personal rules of thumb for Pre-I stuff are as follows:

Create events that do two things:
1) Prepare the associate members for the lessons they are about to learn.
2) Bond the brotherhood together (not the AM class, but the entire chapter).

Eliminate events that do two things:
1) Foreshadow the ritual.
2) Separate the associate members from the brotherhood.

I agree with someone's earlier post when they advised you to contact your ELC. The General Fraternity has worked a lot lately to create/adopt/adapt Pre-I lessons that are meaningful and really quite symbolic. I'd advise you to go this route.
