this is just reminding me of when i was shopping for christmas gifts for my grandparents. i got my grandmother a bunch of cutesy a-phi stuff, but i couldn't really find any pike stuff i thought my grandfather would enjoy.
i kept finding these ties with seven stripes or something on online pike stores, so i asked him what the deal with the ties was and he replied
"well katherine, next you'll be asking me what the handshake and password are"
and left it at that.
i think it's the only time i've witnessed my grandfather showing respect for something, and i had just been initiated, so it was kind of reaffirming in a way.
