Trying to figure out how common or uncommon it is. I'm perfectly happy with answers like WCSweet<3 or HQWest , who didn't even give their Greek Letter Organization.

Do you mean a pledging ritual or initiation?

Pledging Ritual. This is basically whether Pledges at Chapter A can be in attendance at a Pledging ritual at Chapter B, while they are pledges...

Yes. I wouldn't see why not. They have already been through it.

Initiation is another matter and I think that's what got people confused...they thought you were asking about initiation.

It also probably wouldn't be appropriate to answer that question either.

I'm still wondering WHY one would take pledges from one chapter to another's ceremony. Let them bond as in their own chapter first, then build on the togetherness.

Of course, this is my humble opinion, and I approve of this message.

Well, as some have noted, pledging ceremonies for some groups are open, so non-members can attend. I think that this falls into a category of people in some groups can talk about it (as quite a few seasoned members of their GLOs have), people in other groups can't or won't.

The publicity of pledging ceremonies can greatly differ between organizations. For example, for mines, guidelines for running our pledging ceremony is actually available on national's website. Details are unique to each chapter.

At mines, we have this thing where members are ordered by seniority, so in such a situation, the yet-to-be-initiated pledges are simply junior to those who are most recently initiated.
