I'm a ZTA, and I have also noticed slight differences. At Zeta Day, when all the chapters in the state get together, we were singing a song, and my chapter sang it differently. Also, our chapter is 30 years old, and by now we have developed some of our own traditions. One of the sisters is an affiliate from Univ of Wisconsin, where the Zeta chapter is only a few years old. They do everything by the book, and she is dumbfounded by some of the stuff we do here.
Off the subject (kinda), I think it's really weird that in your (ex?)boyfriend's fraternity, they teach the pledges the handshake! No one I know in any greek organization learns that before initiation. And pledges would get in trouble for knowing that kind of stuff. Maybe it's a regional thing. Who knows?
