A ritual is only as good as the people that live it. A handshake is nothing, the words for which our letters stand for are nothing unless we truly live our ritual.
A couple of years ago, some of my fraternity brothers stumbled across a ritual of anothe fraternity. I looked over it, and while I naturally compared it to the ritual I first experienced, it had good ideals. The only dissapointing thing is that few of the brothers from that fraternity seem to live their ritual in their life. There are always chapters that don't follow the higher standards to which the have been called, but to totally throw them out the window is sad.
If you don't try and live your ritual, its just words on paper.
