Hello all,
I probably should make a better introduction, but since I think I'm going back to lurking after this, it probably won't matter. I came to Greek Chat a few times last summer. I was going into my sophomore year, and decided I was going to rush that fall. I did some reading here and it got me very excited (and prepared!) for recruitment. In my research, I read some threads about alumnae initiation, just cause I was curious of what that meant. When I read it and realized that had nothing to do with me, I moved on. Since summer started, I re-discovered this website, and I've been reading semi-regularly.
Back to the point: I joined the new chapter on campus (one that was colonizing that fall). I love my sorority and I'm really happy with the decision I made! But something happened before initiation that made me remember things I read on this website. When we were getting information about initiation, our adviser told us about alumnae initiation, and our moms, sisters (already out of college), aunts, grandmas, etc., wanted to, they could get initiated too.
I was really confused because from what I read here, I didn't think alumnae initiation worked like that. They made it seem like it was really easy to do, and that it was an option open to many people. In a founding class made up of about 50-70 sisters (I'm not saying the real number in case someone can figure it out or something) there were 2 moms that got initiated as well. Is my sorority doing things completely different then others? Has anyone else heard of something like this?
