Celebrate National Ritual Celebration Week, March 5-11!

Mar 01, 2017 – Phi Mu Fraternity has invited all interfraternal Greek organizations and campuses with a fraternity/sorority community to participate in the seventh annual National Ritual Celebration Week, March 5-11, 2017.

The week once again includes the National Panhellenic Conference's International Badge Day on Monday, March 6, 2017. NRCW exists to encourage members to reflect on why fraternities/sororities have rituals, reflect on why fraternities and sororities were founded, explore what it means to live by one's ritual, learn how to celebrate being a part of an interfraternal community and discuss what being a member of an organization with a ritual means.

What can you do to celebrate Ritual? Suggestions are below with a calendar of ways to celebrate.

  • In honor of International Badge Day, wear your badge and encourage other members to wear their badge on Monday, March 6.
  • Join the conversation and share your celebration on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using #NRCW.
  • Take the Ritual Assessment. Use this information to strengthen Ritual within your chapter.
  • Lead a Ritual review that covers the oath, meaning of the Greek letters, the password, handshake, Coat of Arms and badge. 
  • Lead a Ritual Discussion and ask these questions:
    • Why is Ritual important?
    • Who is responsible for Ritual in a chapter?
    • How do you demonstrate that we are a values-based organization?
    • What is the difference between performing Ritual and practicing or living Ritual?
