Lady Pi: With all due respect let me make a few observations: One is that sorority rituals(not the essence os sisterhood) and membership may vary greatly in different parts of the country. When I was at the university that my daughter now attends one sorority went to Church for initiation. They no longer do this due, in part, to a very diverse membership. At some point the decision was made to eliminate this practice to enhance sisterhood. Would anyone suggest that a Fleur de Lis (a French cross) be eliminated as the symbol of KKG because there are Jewish members? No. There is historical ritual and symbols and the evolution of many houses.

This may be regional, but prayers are NOT the norm here.
