I don't understand how anyone can wear letters not knowing what they mean--but maybe that's just me. I guess a lot of it is walking around in letters, looking cute. I don't think I wore any letters until after Initiaion. but that's probably because I didn't get any until the post-Initiation party.
These rules, well-intentioned and all to stop allegations of hazing, are only going to increase the sense of entitlement some new members have going into the new member education process anyway. What's so special about initiation, or staying in a group through thick and thin, if you wore the letters and everything right after Bid Day?
Oh yeah--what do you tell someone who's upset because their significant other is in a group and can't tell them the secrets. "Get a life/grip" isn't working anymore.
This isn't about Mr. Munchkin03, but a friend whose boyfriend is in some co-ed literary society and she wants to know what they do (from what we've heard, they do things that are a little sketchy--like make-out orgies and group showers). How do I tell her that that stuff has NOTHING to do with our rituals?
