I recently did a group interview and another applicant casually said something that is from the DST ritual. My head jerked up and I saw she was smirking at me--she'd noticed my DST necklace and that phrase let me know she was also a soror.

Things like that make me nervous so I don't ever make references from rituals in conversation or on social media. Aside from being shocked to hear another person know the reference, I had a little flutter of panic that she was saying it in public. But KDCat is right--the meaning is created from the relationships we have. It sounded like perfectly normal conversation to everyone else in the room except me and no one would know she'd said a sacred phrase unless I told them.
