Westminster College's Golden Legion - made of alumni who've reached their 50th year post-graduation - welcomed 28 new inductees on Friday.
Skulls of Seven president and senior Alec Bise led them in the Athenian Oath.
"(In 1968), it appeared your class had reached the end of your time on this hill," he told the assembled alumni. "You suddenly realized what these columns stood for."
In a Westminster first, the inductees able to attend processed through the columns. The college plans to make the ceremony an annual tradition for Golden Legion inductees.
