Whoops!!
 

NOTE: THIS IS NOT ASKING FOR INFORMATION, IT IS A DISCUSSION ONLY!!

Have any of you ever inadvertantly found out about another GLO's secrets or accidentally revealed your own GLO's secret to another Greek?? http://www.plaudersmilies.de/faga1.gif I personally was told about the meaning behind another GLO's badge and another GLO's ritual procedure, both by full members and I am fascinated by both. I personally did not reveal anything myself. I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO REVEAL ANYTHING!!!! http://www.plaudersmilies.de/deal.gif Just asking if you have ever HAD this experience and how you FELT to know it or how you felt after revealing it...

Ok, I actually have experienced this. I happen to know of a couple secrets of a fraternity on my alma mater's campus. I have to say that it's fascinating to know BUT at the same time I hate that I know!!! Overall, I wish I hadn't found out about it cuz it makes me hope to GOD that no one ever finds out anything about my sorority. And if someone were to find out something, I hope they feel yucky like I do. http://plaudersmilies.de/sad/shakehead.gif http://plaudersmilies.de/crap.gif

Yeah, someone told us the meaning of the name of a major GLO when I was in college. It was correct, too, and for some weird reason I've felt guilty ever since.

I know a few fraternity and sorority handshakes, and I know a few other things (meanings of crests can easily be deciphered if you studies heraldry ever) and I learned a few other things I wasn't supposed to know. It happens. At least it isn't the end of the world, although I don't want anyone to know any of my sororities ritual I am sure it has happened.

If your going to go greek, why not be a goddess?

It amazes me how many greeks have no respect for their letters at all. They just milk the social aspects of their frat and don't even stay active after graduation. My roommates brother was an [Frat Name Withheld] and he couldn't keep a secret for nothing. He told his brother too many of the frats information and his brother told a couple of people in the dorm. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif It wasn't anything drastic; but still things that we shouldn't have known.

Im not sure how many people are aware but there is a website that many GLO's on my campus are trying to get rid of. It is called "fraternitysecrets.com" i happened on it one day while looking for greek stuff. it has some weird information as well as some stuff that is obviosly a joke.. but on the message boards for this site, some people actially type all their rituals and a whole bunch of stuff.. i think its HORRIBLE! the whole point is that u are sharing a BOND with your SISTERS.. not with the entire world!
the site hasnt been updated in ages, and im hoping that means there has been some progress in stopping the spreading of ritual information.
im not sure if what i read on there was true... but if it was i would feel guilty for knowng.. so i try to think that maybe it was all made up so i feel better..

Thats my two pennys

If you know something keep it on the "DL" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif and keep it too yourself

One of my guys friends and I were talking about how much we hate our secrets to be revealed. He know several sororities hand shakes on our campus, because the girls he dates tells them. We both said even if some one is dumb enough to tell us anything ritual related we keep it to ourselves out of respect for our each rituals.

Before I joined AGD I had pledged an Asian-interest local sorority on campus. I didn't stick around long enough to know their ritual, but as a pledge I was required to carry a Furoshiki, which is basically a box wrapped in pink cloth (the way the Japanese wrap their box lunches). For YEARS, many people wondered what was in the Furoshiki. After I depledged (horrible hazing story that I don't want to get into right now), I was so tempted to get even. Thank God I didn't, because after joining AGD I realized that it's important to respect the ritual and secrets of GLOs. People have offered to pay me money to find out what's inside...and to tell you the truth, what's inside isn't even worth what they're willing to pay me.

However, a girl who was in the pledge class with me decided to get even and she posted the information about the box's contents as well as other secrets all around campus. She pledged longer than I did, so she knew more. I tried talking her out of it, but apparently the hazing was enough to drive her insane against this sorority.

I have a friend who is an SAE at another school. He got really drunk one night and started telling everyone his fraternity secrets. When I talked to him about it the next day after he had sobered up, his reaction was 'whatever'. I don't understand how some people are so irresponsible when it comes to things like that.

A fraternity man who was always coming over to our house trying to "impress" us told us about some of the hazing his house did. I think he thought it would get him somewhere - sorry dude, no booty for you. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I'd be interested about the similarity of the rituals, but it would be meaninless to me. So if someone started spilling, I might listen but I'm sure not sharing mine.


What I find a million times more interesting than real rituals is the fake ones floating around. It's like a national game of telephone! They always have the same handshake for sororities and there seems to be only about three passwords floating around. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

LOL!! I remember a fraternity guy "learned" a sorority's "secret" handshake, but didn't know whose it was. So, he went around parties doing this thing with our hands..it was hysterical!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
