Alpha Gamma Delta has a Memorial Service that is open to anybody. It is also done at every Convention.

I have to look through my Alum Assoc book. I know we have one, but don't remember the specifics about it.
We also do a memorial ceremony at each convention for those members who passed during the biennium. I attended when I went to convention and it was extremely beautiful and moving.

We have one.
It's pretty incredible but I never want to see it done.

Alpha Phi Omega Memorial Ceremony
Alpha Phi Omega's Memorial Ceremony is publicly available. See http://www.apo.org/site/site_files/memorial_ritual.pdf . It's designed to be fairly broad in how it can be used. I'm familiar with its use both in brothers only situations as well as in larger groups.

Like the others, Sigma Kappa does have a memorial service that can be preformed. Additionally, we have other "things" that can be done that would be seen publicly (placement of badge, etc.), but the significance would be ritual known only by members. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well, though...
