What's funny is that I just assumed that most all GLOs had rituals for alumni only. That was just one bit of Sorority Wars that I thought was off-base. They held their alumae meeting at a country club out in the open and I thought "yeah, right!" 
So now I have another question to throw into the mix. If your GLO does not have rituals for alumni, do you meet in public?

Our rituals are not SPECIFICALLY for alumnae, but alumnae do have rituals.

That (at least I think it is) is our organization as well. In our case, actives are allowed to be present for alumnae rituals but the rituals are for the alumnae. I think that is what you meant....

It's possible she means that alumni have rituals for chapter meetings and initiations just like undergrads.

Oops. That seems likely.
Well, in any case, the meaning I interpreted is how it is in my sorority.

Our alumni meetings are often at restaurants, coffeeshops, and other public places, or at members homes with other family members sometimes in and out and around. They are not secret.

Hmm, interesting. My experience has been quite different. I can think of two things done at an AA meeting that I wouldn't feel comfortable doing in public. Maybe it differs from AA to AA? I don't know.
