Re: Why the negative connotations???

Because we ARE secret societies. We don't like others knowing all of our business (the Delta is for Discretion!), our rituals, membership selection process, voting process, bylaws, and initiations are secret, we ARE selective, (some more or less than others). The negative connotations come from the acts of certain members, not our foundations.
