Some very good points above.
I'm not an expert on anyone else's ritual, but have done a small amount of reading on the subject.
Here are the two things which made the biggest impression on me. First, most rituals are more alike than different from fraternity (or sorority) to fraternity, and second, many, if not most, have their roots in Masonry. I'm not a Mason, but many of the founders of the biggest and oldest fraternities were.
Fraternally,
