However, I don't know of many viable newer organizations that adopt traditions simply because they "think it's cool" without really considering the effect.
Again, I can only speak for Theta Nu Xi, but we understand where this particular tradition came from within BGLOs. I realize that members of mainstream organizations often have in their minds that members of younger organizations have no grounding in history. The truth is that, at least for Theta Nu Xi, we are serious about what we're doing and we don't take things lightly. This isn't a game.

You didn't refute what rhoyaltempest said.
While some of you know why "Incorporated" is said, I say "some" because not even all NPHCers know why it is said, Theta Nu Xi and other organizations are young and didn't exist at a time where being incorporated was a huge feat for certain types of organizations.
So even if you all know the significance behind "Innnnnncorporated," the reason you are actually saying it is because of the BGLO tradition of saying it. If not for that, it would be another unspoken fact about your organization as it
usually is with NPC and IFC organizations.
