I guess the problem I have with this is that some of us don't see belonging to an NPHC or Mason org as something that should be revered and respected. If some of us started behaving like it is an honor and a privilege to belong to our orgs, you wouldn't have half of this disrespectful stuff going on.

Sometimes we take the competitiveness too far. It is disrespectful to your own org and the others to cheapen them with all of these "new" terms to show unity with one or two other orgs while excluding the others (mother/father/cousin, etc),.

I would bet that all any of our Founders had to do to "show unity" was just stick to the ideals and principles the organizations were founded upon and be respectful and supportive of the other orgs and their work in the community.
