“I recently attended our district seven leadership concert
in L.A. where I was fortunate enough to be profoundly touched by your
heartfelt words regarding not only our ritual, but our fraternity as
well. I wanted to take this opportunity to share how you have changed
my life. I can’t even express to you how much your presentation
meant to me. Because of you, I have made it my goal to live my
ritual, and in doing so hope to share my knowledge with others. Thank
you so much for your inspiration, and I hope that you continue what
you are doing for our organizations because you are truly an amazing
woman. I know that your founders, whoever they might be, would
definitely look down on you today and thank you for keeping their
dreams alive.”

“I am only in 8th grade. I have know Mari Ann for a couple
of years now because she plays the guitar at Camp Abbey. The speech
she gave us was incredible. It touched me so much. I thought every
single thing she said to us was just right. I know from what she said
will definitely change the way I live today. She is a wonderful lady
and I look up to her in many ways.”

“I just wanted to let you know that your talk on Ritual and how to ‘Just Live It’ really inspired me! Your talk made me so excited about being a part of something so good and so much bigger than myself. You also taught me a lot about the ‘Pahellenic blanket’ and how each member is responsible for holding up their corner. It all really made an impact on me.
“Last Sunday I was elected as Keeper of the Ritual for my
chapter. Because of your influence, I hope to develop programming and
a workshop that will help the chapter to understand the Ritual and
then encourage the chapter to live it out on a daily basis. But I
also want this to be fun and keep the girls’ minds busy!”

“Thank you so much for the awesome presentation on ritual. I
wish all of our members were there to witness it. I left that meeting
trembling with excitement for when we finally get installed and learn
our ritual.”

“With innate enthusiasm, wit, and an upbeat personality (and
even a little guitar thrown in), Mari Ann Callais keeps her audience
interested, involved, and always on their toes. She has them laughing
one minute, and then the next, she grabs at their hearts. My students
and I never fail to come away motivated and inspired!”

“I wanted to use this opportunity to tell you what a
phenomenal asset Mari Ann was to our conference. She received nothing
but high marks, and was the main topic of conversation from the
moment her presentation was over!”

“I had students coming into my office for a week and a half
after her lecture telling me how good it was a what an impact she had
made on them. Some students actually went back to their chapters and
discussed what their ritual meant to them and how it impacts their
lives on a daily basis.”
