What to Expect During Sorority Initiation

2. Shhhhh, it’s a secret.

Every event during initiation week is meant to stay secret. Don’t go back to your dorm and spill what you did in initiation to your roommates who aren’t in your sorority! National sorority policies stress the value in keeping rituals secret because sororities are secret societies.

3. What to expect when you’re not expecting.

You will know absolutely nothing about each event during initiation week until you experience them. The reason for this is that your sisters want you to be surprised and see the rituals with fresh eyes.

4. Bonds will be made during this week.

This week is an intimate time for your sisters. You are all working towards lifelong membership with each other and your sorority. Value your sisters even more so than usual as you complete the last of you pledging duties.

5. Creepy rituals will occur.

Unlike the movies, sorority initiation is not scary and gross. Instead, harmless rituals are performed that seem cult-like at first glance, but have been a part of your sorority since the beginning of its existence.

So, is there anything else you want to know about sorority initiation?

Look forward to initiation and forever being a member of Greek-Life. It’s truly an once in a lifetime experience.
