Why be creative and spend an extensive amount of time coming up with stuff, when you can visit websites with all the info you need?

Some organizations have masonic influences, not because they were scrounging around for ideas, but for other reasons.
Generally speaking, NPHC founders had information about the other NPHC organizations. They didn't need the Internet for that basic info. And they didn't confuse paying respect to an organization with stealing from an organization.

What the heck are you rolling your eyes about?
Speak for yourself and how you feel about the publicized symbols for your organization.
