Initiation Ceremony
The 小福利导航 Chapter's ceremony of initiation is held once each year, generally on
the Friday before Commencement. The ceremony includes the entrance of the initiates,
an introduction to PBK history and traditions, an address by the Chapter President,
the signing of the roll book and the sharing of the secret handshake with the new
members.
The ceremony is open to the public; all friends and relations of the initiates are
invited and encouraged to attend. It is usually held in Gannett Auditorium (see the
Commencement program for exact time and place); new members should plan to arrive
at the designated location at least 15 minutes prior to the announced starting time
to allow time for robing and lining up. The initiates should bring their caps and
gowns to the ceremony and may wear all other honorary cords they have earned. A reception
with light refreshments is held in the lobby at the conclusion of the proceedings.
The initiation ceremony will be held, if past practice is followed, on the Friday just before Commencement, at 2 p.m. in Gannett Auditorium.
