Greek Traditions

Hey guys,

A few fraternities on my campus (including mine) do a good job living the fraternity lifestyle, and having a great time doing it. Obviously we all have our individual ritual and traditions, and a few big annual philanthropies, Greek Week, formals, and Homecoming.

However, I feel like the overall atmosphere at my university isn't nearly as Greek as it could be. For example, I don't really hear of people doing any classic traditions such as lavaliering/candle passing, singing fraternity songs when inviting sororities to socials, or even just stressing a more "fratty" look.

My chapter has been talking about bringing a lot of more "traditional" fraternity culture to the campus (and no, I'm not talk about hazing). Do you guys have any ideas for how to be better examples of how a really strong Greek life should be? I'm looking for events, traditions, dress, etc. that you would find in the "good old days" of Greek life. Thanks.
