I know I'm stating the obvious. But everyone else calls them secret socities or whatever because they're not a part of them and our rituals are secret to their eyes.
Lets be honest. There is really no need to keep a ritual secret. What is wrong with letting the world know what we have pledged to do? To hold up certain virtues and ideals shouldn't really be secret, but it makes the members happier that when they do it, no one quite understands it like they do.
In reality, everyone around you ought to know your ritual by the life you lead. Thus not making it secret anymore, but when we fail, thats where those newspaper articles come in. It happens. We know we're still better people, its just that no one else sees it because they don't want to. They're better off thinking we're just drunks that haze.
