Don't worry, I'm not placing any real value in his statements...I'm just not sure what it had to do with anything in this thread in the first place.
I also just realized that he posted in November of 2000.. had I noticed that before, I wouldn't have even posted anything!
I really wasn't trying to start any flame wars, and I'm still not trying to do that.
There have been lots of studies on rituals, and you'll find that most of them are actually quite similar (since most have the same or similar roots).
As for the Sigma Chi's... I've only known a few, but none of those have acted any better than anyone else, or said anything along the lines you posted. You can't generalize an entire fraterntiy based on your personal experience at one campus. (If that were the case, my opinion of SAE would be horrible, based on one story a friend told me years ago. Instead, I met some SAE's, have seen their purpose (on web pages, etc.) and have as much respect for them as any other GLO).
