Initiation and Banquet Initiation is mandatory and is scheduled for the end of the semester. You must attend the initiation to become an official member. If you cannot attend the initiation, feel free to complete the requirements, and then attend initiation the following semester. Following Initiation will be the Initiation Banquet. Both the Initiation and the Banquet are formal.
Initiation is a private ceremony.
Your committee head will also check up on you. HKN may seem like a lot of work, and you might wonder how you are going to fit it in to your busy EECS schedule. But, if you don't have a schedule that is completely nuts, you can be a candidate. Remember, we are all EECS majors too, and we understand what you are going through. We try to be accommodating and work around midterms, projects, etc.
