Sorry, I wasn't trying to disrespect anyone's rituals. Way back when
I was still in college I did a report on "rites of passage" for a
Philosophy class and in the various books I used for my research the
phrase "crossing the burning sands" shows up in a lot of different
contexts both inside and outside the world of GLO's, and it goes back
into the early 20th century and perhaps earlier than that (I mean it
was used by other organizations, fellowships, and secret societies, not
just college fraternities and sororities). But this is a whole
different topic than what this thread is about.
Thanks for putting in the correction.
