- Informant’s comments
- During the week of initiation, all new members are required to wear blue bows. Every new member has to always be wearing a blue bow, but we each are also assigned a theme we have to dress up for that week such as goth. This is a very fun way to interact with our new sisters and get to know the older sisters in a light hearted, fun manner. I really enjoy this tradition and thing it is a great welcome into the sorority.
