Protocol
Houston is proud to announce we will once again be walking our guests according to Princess Protocol. Protocol will be submitted like normal with each court submitting one file with all their members’ protocol listed. Protocol cards will be created and you will hand those cards to the emcee as you enter the ballroom and immediately greet their majesties before taking your seat. We have a hard deadline for protocol this year. All protocol must be submitted electronically no later than Wednesday January 7th to protocol@ersicss.org.
ERSICSS adheres to the one walk rule with your highest ranking title. Only titles bestowed by Emperor and Emprex XL of Houston, Queen Mother of the Americas Nicole the Great and those titles sanctioned by our late founder, Jose’ I, will be allowed. All other titles will be red-lined as will affiliations with houses and societies except those that have been given directly by our reigning monarchs here in Houston.
There will be no greetings, no regrets or ball announcements. Personal titles/monikers will be limited to reigning monarchs only. Please note that no more than three dynastic names will be allowed. We ask that you use the name that you are customarily introduced with at your own court functions.
As always, ERSICSS reserves the right to edit protocol as necessary and the final decision is that of our Prime Minister of Protocol of ERSICSS.
