Sisters DON'T fail it Really, for initiated sisters, it's not that hard. If you attend chapter every week, then you know everything on the written part (unless the test has changed in 13 years). I remember part of it being an oral exam and if you had trouble memorizing it, you went to another room, practiced and then said it to the RC member as fast as you could.

And to this day, I know that our old headquarters were on Overlook Blvd in Brentwood TN. I was actually annoyed when the new HQ was built, since it was a new address!

The sisters who fail have to also retake the test until they pass. The sisters who do not pass can actually be put on probation and lose social privileges. Also, collegiate chapters must demonstrate a high pass rate to be eligible for International awards.
New members are required to pass the exam, but AFAIK, no one has ever not gotten initiated because they couldn't eventually pass the test. It's not that hard!

The test is much easier than it was 13 years ago! I administer the current test. It's only a couple pages. I found one that was about 15 years old that ran about 5 pages front and back! And that didn't count the oral ritual portion.

Hey no fair! I remember the 5 page test + oral portion. I still don't remember it being that hard! To Hell, Stell, Jess & Bess!
