Rituals . . .

The importance of a comprehensive understanding and sincere respect for our rituals cannot be emphasized enough. At the beginning of all chapter meetings we repeat together the OPENING RITUAL. At the close of the chapter meeting we repeat the CLOSING RITUAL. Remember your installation into membership? That is called the PLEDGE RITUAL.

Please open your heart and mind as you study these rituals. Think about them and absorb the beauty and meaning of the ideals of our Sisterhood. In time, YOU will be rewarded with many personal and meaningful results.
