This is more or less what I was getting at. A sorority may have included elements that are now considered wildly racist, even though white supremacy was never what they intended. The same could have happened inadvertently where it applied to religion. They were raised in religious homes so when it came time to write a ritual, of course they included these elements. But they didn't intend for the sorority to be religious per se. Or maybe they did, but that's never been the take away I got on our ritual.
/eta I don't know if my sorority has ever modified the ritual. Maybe I should look into that!
