As a ritual advisor for my chapter and a devoted alumna of my GLO, I am absolutely sickened by the fact that you have Greek organizations' secret rituals in your possession. The very idea of someone other than a Delta Zeta being in possession of our sacred ritual is completely revolting to me, and my stomach churns at the thought of someone going through our secret ceremonies as if they are nothing more than interesting reading material -- a way to kill time before dinner.
Just because you say you would never reveal the rituals publicly, wptw, does not justify the fact that you have them in your possession and are "studying" them for "personal use." They aren't public textbooks, and they are certainly not intended to be Cliff Notes for your own personal course in GLO history!
Greek rituals contain a wealth of meaning for their individual organizations, but for you they serve only as a means of satisfying selfish curiosity.
I will not be making any further comments on this issue, and I won't be returning to this thread. I've reached my limit as to the amount of disrespect I can tolerate this week.
