Good evening, ma'am. Logisticly speaking ( and without revealing anything Ritualisticly secret ), is that how larger colonies ( for any organization ) conduct a mass iniation? By dividing into 2 groups ( or more )?

What an exciting story with a wonderful ending! Congratulations, Johnasla!
Honeychile, you mentioned an opal Badge (which sounds stunning). Does your National buy the Badges for new colonies?

Darling KR, I have THREE opal pins: One all opals, one opals with diamond points, and one alternating opals and sapphires! My little had three daughters to whom I promised opal pins if they became sisters, but two out of three didn't even rush. One more to go!
Check out my picture albums on Facebook - I think two of them are pictures there. Maybe your DD might be interested...?

I believe so. I'm pretty sure when my chapter was recolonized they split the ceremony into 2 or more going on simultanously. I'm sure some chapters do it this way with massive alpha classes. It still took all day (with a 1 hour lunch break) to initiate around 160 women.

I initiated as a Founding Sister of my DG chapter at North Carolina State University. We had 76 colonizing sisters and we did initiation all as one group. It certainly was one of the longer initiations I've attended, but wasn't terrible. And I know some SEC schools (and a handfull of other schools) have pledge classes larger than that on an annual basis. So I imagine large initiations are not that uncommon.
