Being a Sister is a calling!

To be a Sister you need to have dedication to helping those in need, to speak out for the community and of course be PRETTY! The Sisters work hard for the charities we support and are always being asked to participate in events in the greater Palm Springs area.

For those who feel the calling to become a Sister, there is a process that will guide you along your path

• Aspirant Period - This is where you show up to our events to help us out and get to know us, and us you. You start coming to our meetings as a guest and have talks with our Fully Professed members, especially our Mistress of Novices. When you are ready, you voice your intent to join our House and start your path as a Sister.
• Postulant Period - This is the second step in becoming a Sister. The Postulant Period is when you get to put on "Face" and wear the "official" Postulant robe. During the period, your attire and appearance do have some restrictions; these will be clarified by the Mistress of Novices. You will also need to choose a mentor or Mother in the house. This person must be a fully professed member and will be responsible for mentoring you through your path.
• Novitiate Period - This is the third step in your progression. The Novitiate Stage is where you get your official House Coronet and Veil. You are also allowed to start adorning your makeup with glitter and jewels! During this stage of your progression you learn the lessons needed to become a fully professed member and will be required to enact a novice project that shows the house your ability to create and implement a successful event and work with other members of the house as a team to coordinate your event.
• Fully Professed Member (FPM) - Congratulations! The house has voted on your final progression based on what they have seen in your appearances, ability to work with the group as a team player, your dedication to the Sister's mission and all that you have learned from each step of your progression.

Some important things to know -

• Until you are a FPM, you are not permitted to publicly represent the Sisters. You should always direct any questions or press to an FPM.
• During each stage of progression you are required to meet certain milestones set by the House. These include but are not limited to specific attendance requirements for meetings and/or events.
• Until you are an FPM you are not permitted to publicly appear in face without the presence of an FPM.

This is just a brief overview of what it takes to become a Sister. If you want to discuss the process in detail, please send an email to our Mistress of Novices, at mistressofnovices@palmspringssisters.org and she'll be happy to help you.

Please be sure to include all of your pertinent contact information in your email, and let her know the best way and the best time to contact you.
