Do you know other GLOs' secret info?
 

This might not last long, but I'm really curious.

I know that a few GCers, for example wptw, are ritual researchers and know a lot of info about a lot of GLOs.

However, have you ever had someone from another GLO tell you secret information? Perhaps even without your asking them to do so? If so, what is your relationship to that person?

I know basically all of the info for one fraternity. My good guy friend told me one time--this chapter lost their charter on my campus. I also accidentally found some of their initiation stuff one time in their house when I was looking for my lost camera (before they got kicked off, obviously).:eek: I also know a few things here and there about other sororities on campus due to drunk members spilling details.

Not that I consider the behavior above particularly appropriate--at no time did I solicit information from anyone. But, for example, I've had friends tell me their parents told them info about their GLOs from college....

I know the handshake of a sorority... and I know some stuff (although not necessarily ritual) about another sorority that I shouldn't know... but it was all volunteered to me... I would never ask anyone for this info because honestly if you're not in the GLO it doesn't have the same meaning anyway...

OH yes, yes i do...I know secret handshakes, meanings of letters, challenges, rituals, etc etc....

I know the handshake of two sororities and the secret motto of one and I know the secret motto of a fraternity. They were all told to me by drunken members while I was sober. ;) Still, it does not have the same meaning to me as it does to the members of these organizations and it's not information that I pass along to others.

I was shown the handshake of a frat once. I can't remember it as it was shown to me about 5 years ago. Plus, I don't really feel comfortable knowing that kind of info. So, I am glad my memory is awful.

No comment.

That means yes.

I know the meaning behind the letters of 3 fraternities and 2 other sororities. :D They were drunk, I was sober. I did get really pissed one time though when a member of a fraternity came up and told me what my letters meant. He was engaged to one of our older sisters (graduated 2 years before my time), and they had "traded" secrets.

I've wondered about this before. If, back then, when GLOs were being founded, it was standard for the students to study things such as the Greek language, didn't they all know the meanings behind each other's letters?

I plead the Fif.

ha ha ha, quiz me!

Grips: There are only so many handshakes one can do, you'll figure it out.
Mottos: Grab the orgs. pledge manual, and read between the lines.

I know about one of my ex's fraternity stuff...he told me one time, I really don't know why. I didn't tell him a darn thing. I supposedly know another sororities grip, but I doubt it's really right. One of our older members told me because her cousin was in this org, but I don't know if that is really it.

Kinda sad that so many people just spill the beans on their orgs under the influence.:(

After reading Pledged I "know" some stuff (all of which I take with a grain of salt).

I've been told by a fraternity member that he knew our secrets. But I don't think he does.

Don't know about that. There could be tons of meanings behind all the letters, considering all the word combinations they could have had.

A lot of my family members are Greek and I remember one time playing in the same room while my mom and aunt talked about ritual (they were in the same GLO). But that was so long ago I don't remember. If I asked she might tell me but I really don't care?

A few years ago the theme for my chapter's big fall date function was Caesar's Palace so everyone wore togas or similar attire. There were several guys there from XYZ fraternity and they were all wearing these robe things. The rumor was that the robes were part of their ritual. We all thought it was very bizarre that they would do that, but I never heard anyone ask them if the robes really were a part of their ritual.

I really don't understand why people share their ritual with other people outside of their org. I mean it's not like if someone were to find out the secrets that anything bad would happen, but I just don't see the point. And I really don't understand spilling the beans when you're drunk unless you are someone who wouldn't care about telling your secrets whether you were sober or drunk.

Hopefully that grain of salt is lining a margarita glass! :p
Yes Pledged and those SECRETS sites should be taken as gospel :rolleyes:
