Add to that "why would you invite sisters you don't know and wouldn't recognize?" LOL. I was really trippin' off that title.

I had one of my sisters, who wasnt officially in the bridal party, be a greeter, and whenever a sister arrived to be seated, she gave her a pink rose.

a couple of notes:
1. it sounds like you have lots of cash to invite your sisters, ones that you're not that close with. why anyone would do such a thing, sister or not, boggles my mind. yes theyre your sisters but do they ALL need to be there?
2. why do they need to sit in a separate section?
3. its YOUR day - why are you focused on giving them the attention? theyll get their chance at the reception - im sure your organization has wedding traditions. plus, during the ceremony, shouldnt you be looking at that dazzling man standing across from you instead of out in the audience?
4. i realize that you may be from a huge house where its legitimate that you dont know all your house sisters at a glance. why dont you put it on them - tell your sisters to wear one of your colors to stand out? maybe a lavalier or badge/pin? or maybe something specific to your chapter to wear?

She didn't say that, she said she wants to acknowledge the sisters that she has invited.

Re #4 - I don't think it's a question of her not recognizing people - she meant recognize as in acknowledge. She just wants the rest of the wedding attendees to know that these are special people in her life.
I think what she's doing is very sweet. Many of us have sisters and brothers that are closer to us and that have done a heck of a lot more for us than our biological familes (who are usually the ones strutting their stuff in the front pews).

I don't think she meant "recognize" as in she didn't know them and needed them to wear something so that she knows they are sisters, but rather, she wanted to recognize/acknowledge/honor them somehow by giving reserved seating, or a flower or whatever.
Is this the case?

no, i didnt miss it. but i did misread "recognize" - i took it literally, as in, she wouldnt be able to spot them in the crowd. versus "recognize" them as sisters important to her and worthy of such. my bad!
