These are some traditions performed every year to start and during the initiation ceremony
Informant’s comments
Every year for the initiation ceremony we have a candlelight ceremony where all members have to dress in all white and decorate the suite with candles and white curtains. Each potential member has to enter the house three at a time in alphabetical order, and is then sworn in. It is taken very seriously and is a big tradition for us. It is assumed when you pledge the sorority you will also take these longstanding traditions.
