Glitter, thank you for the Kind Words about My Brothers at Mu Chapter, our First on the West Coast!
One must understand, that "While there may be a lot of similarities among Greek Organizations, there are a lot of differences".
LXA has the most intricate Coat of Arms that I know of and each thing means something! TKN and LXA were merged in 1939 and so there were incoprorations to what we have today. Our Badge while seems not as fancy as some each part of that Badge has a special meaning in our training and teachings.
I am sure when you really study each Organizations C of A and Badge, each thing has a specific meaning to them! Rituals are the same way. WPTW is one of the most knowledgeable people I know, but He holds things rightly so closed mouthed!
I for one respect each and every Greek Organizations C of A and Badge simply because it means something and projects each Organizions teaching and beleifs to and for them!
g4, I think your history lesson is very well written and explains many things! None of us were started yesterday and the times then are a lot different today!
