I'm sure no one is considering promoting secrets -- I assume the idea is more for individuals and chapters to focus on their own rituals and for the Greek community to emphasize that we all have ideals and value that we cherish and try to live by.
As honeychile said, Phi Mu came up with this idea. Here is a page at their website with information, including resources and particiapting groups and individuals. An interesting idea. |
This makes more sense, what didn't make sense was the "promoting awareness of all Greek org's rituals." Still, not something I'm particularly excited about, nor do I think that 'celebrating' it would go well here on GC. We really can't talk about the rituals themselves, most if not all of us feel something generally positive about our rituals but can't discuss anything in more than the most vague of terms.
Makes sense within a chapter, or an org, but not as something done with 'other' people.
