Despite
popular belief, friendship circles aren’t just for sorority women. Although
sorority women are among the most common participants of a friendship circle, I’ve
been able to dig a little deeper!
Most,
if not all sororities have a traditional song or circle of unity that they sing
or form together during special moments within each sister’s lives. There are
different traditions for every sorority and it is a special bond that sisters
share. A friendship circle usually forms toward the end of the reception.
However, after doing some research to see some of the cool ideas done with
friendship circles, I realized that this isn’t something exclusive to
sororities.
The
friendship circle or a variation of it, a wedding arch, is somewhat meant for a
smaller wedding considering all the guests form a large circle in the middle of
the dance floor. For both the bride and the groom, they start at a particular
point in the circle and proceed around in opposite directions, hearing well
wishes, receiving hugs and then eventually meeting back at the starting point.
The wedding arch is similar in that two lines are formed heading towards the
door! The wedding arch works best when the bride and groom are leaving, right
before the end of the night.
Please
feel free to post any experiences you may have had with variations of the
friendship circle, fun stories, etc! And please introduce yourselves and
request fun topics you’d like me to write about!
And for now and
until next Thursday:
