Sr Pollyanal Buttercup and myself present our daughter. Postulant Ida Know

Aspirant
Aspirancy begins when you declare your intent to join at one of our general membership meetings. It lasts for at least three months; during this time you should be developing relationships with the Sisters, participating in our events and watching how we work and operate. At this stage you are not a member and have no rights within the Order. If we both decide that you are a good fit, you will need to get the Novice Mistress' recommendation and select two Fully Professed Members to be your sponsors (we call them your Mothers). The Membership then votes on your elevation; if you get a majority vote you are elevated to Postulant.

Postulant
As a Postulant, you are a Member of the Order although you still have no rights. In addition to continuing to further your relationships within the Order. You wear whiteface, a white scapluar, a black dress and a hat. Postulancy last for at least six months. Near the end of that time, if we still agree that you are a good fit, you will need pick one Mother to continue on with your path. With the Novice Mistress' recommendation and the sponsorship of your Mother, you will be brought up for elevation. Should you get the two-thirds vote required, you will be elevated to Novice.

Novice Sister
The Novitiate begins to manifest the outward appearance of a Sister. A Novice wears the whiteface and wimple, although she is only allowed to wear a pure white veil. Despite this, the general public still perceives you to be a Sister and your interactions will radically change. The Novitiate lasts for at least six months. During this time you are a member without rights, you must attend every meeting, nearly all of our events and with you Mother's help, you must also plan, organize and throw an event. Once you complete the requirements and have the Novice Mistress' and your Mother's support, you may ask to be elevated to Fully Professed status. As with the other steps, you will be voted upon by the membership; should you receive the 100% vote required, you will be elevated to Black Veil.

Fully Professed (Black Veil)
Although this is the last step in the formal process of becoming a Sister, it is the first step towards being a Sister. As a Fully Professed Member of the Order, you have all of the rights and privileges of a Member: you may vote, represent the Order and manifest as you feel called to do so. Fully Professed Members also may hold office and help shape the direction and development of the Order. Our Fully Professed Members serve the Order in many different roles; taken as a whole, they make the Order what it is.
