^^^ Yeah, I understand what you were trying to do, especially given that the poster is presumably not a native-English speaker.

That said, he's asked for advice on an English-language board, so I'll assume he has some comfort with the language. My concern, I guess, was that he'd get the idea that fraternities and sororities just have "random" rituals -- "this would be a cool way to open a meeting," or "this would make a neat handshake/grip" -- instead of starting from the point of "what values/principles/ideas do we want to impart and preserve" and then asking "how do we pass those ideas along and reinforce them, and reinforce the bond between members through the way we initiate, open meetings, shake hands, etc."
