I've never heard of any Theta Chi revealing our secrets. Hopefully it won't ever happen.

I think almost every organization "threatens" it's new members with "death" or "Disgrace" or whatever in the ritual.I mean that would only make sense to make people take oaths "Until death do we part" basically.But seriously, I would not actually expect to kill, bury alive,burn alive, or anything like that to any of my sisters should they blab. I mean, I really hope no one does blab our ritual, it would tick me off, but it would not ruin my life. I do have other things to worry about.
As for the whole spouse thing. I recently overheard my b-friend bragging about me to one of his frat bros that I was so cool b/c I've never tried to get secrets out of him or ask him a bunch of questions. And I thought-that was a nice compliment-but GAWD-I could soooo care less about his fraternity stuff. I mean, please.Now my best friend-she's a little loose lip Lucy. But I don't really think she's evil or anything. She just doesn't take it as seriously. It's more like a college thing-not a life long thing to her. Whatever.
Now the Eulessian (Spell?) Mysteries-pretty interesting reading.
As far as our stuff goes-like Tom said, it's mostly oral so there's not much to read.If I see a book going on ebay or something I just let it go.......
