[B]Okay here's what I know about TNE at my campus.
EXTRACT: " In order to get in you supposedly have to disclose the secrets of your fraternity/sorority in order to prove your desire to join what the members consider a far more important organization".
That sounds very odd! I find it hard to believe that any organization would ask a prospective member to disclose information that he had given his word of honor to hold close and disclose only to those properly entitled to receive such information. I believe every fraternity which has private or "secret" information requires a newly initiated brother to take such an obligation to safeguard this information on his honor. If the candidate did disclose and break his word to get into this other organization then he would be without honor and would be proven to be not trustworthy. If this is the case how would the new organization ever be able to trust the word of a dishonored liar with any of its own private business? Do you suppose it might be a sort of trick question where they ask you to disclose the private business of your own fraternity and in reality expect you to politely but firmly tell them no? Either you are good for your word or you are not. Any thoughts? Have I missed something or does that sound really out of line?
