Hey!
I'm not touching the acronym situation, just wanted to add a Masonic tidbit.
OES members grip each other, but we do not grip our Mason brothers (if you're OES, you know what I mean). I have been "challenged" (I'm a toddler in the org) while in 'nalia, at a store, and at church. I just expect it everywhere. When it's meeting time, you "greet" other sisters. It's pretty universal, and I think beyond race, as well. I don't know, however, because I haven't met any Non-Black OEs members yet. I look forward to the dialogue, though!
