Initiation Ceremony: what if you can't attend??

[33girl]

Just a note that everyone's initiation is different in terms of complexity. Doing a second initiation can range from "no biggie" to "need dispensation from Pope." So definitely talk to your NME ASAP and find out what your options are.

ps: I do agree with OP that it sounds like the funding person for the scholarship is being a dick, but you really can't argue with them if you don't want to lose it.

This just put a great image in my head.

One of our NM one year RSVP'd to a wedding that ended up being the same day as initiation. We just held a much smaller initiation ceremony for her the next day. Your daughter should talk to the new member coordinator ASAP.

Like 33girl said, maybe it is completely possible, maybe it isn't. We don't know what org the OP's daughter pledged, so we don't have any idea whether the daughter's chapter would consider it no big deal.

This. Move to end debate before we have 5 pages of "I agree, she should talk with her new member coordinator."
