Do any of you out there have problems with other people trying to discover ritual secrets of your GLO's? I've seen websites on the internet that are dedicated to just that. People write in and post different "fraternity rituals" on there, and different secrets for different GLO's. I've seen supposed Sig Ep secrets on there, and they're completely false. I don't know about other GLO's. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that out, see what everybody thought.

It's not stuff that each chapter does differently, though. At least for Sig Ep, I'm talking about stuff like our grip, and different things that are the same for every Sig Ep chapter. That's how I know that they're false.

It's probably mostly people that were cut or didn't even get a bid during rush. Mostly losers with too much time on their hands. I remember we had a candidate (and his mother) that swore that they'd take us down... Haven't heard from them in a year

Actually, for the most part it's not even ex-Greeks or ex-pledges. It's just anti-greek people who are guessing at the meanings of mottoes, and passing along little bits and pieces of info that we've all heard "here and there" before. It's just people trying to stir up trouble and piss us off.
Having monitored and participated in those boards for quite a while now, I can tell you with certainty that the vast majority of what gets posted there is pure crap.

Yea I have seen random websites like that too. There was one that I remember about the supposed Chi Omega ritual. I'm not a Chi O, so I don't know for a fact if that stuff is true/false, but I believe it is probably false. I think there was also another one with Sigma Chi's supposed ritual also. They must have lots of free time to dedicate themselves to invest in so much time creating elaborate websites with information that is probably false.
I think that generally that is just not cool whether they are false or not. Ritual is something all members of GLO's keep near and dear to us. It's a bummer not all people respect each other, whether they are Greek or not, and I think that is probably where behavior like this [creating those types of websites] stems from.

And perhaps bait someone who responds without thinking to reveal a secret in response. " CYW doesn't mean _____, you idiot, it means __________!"

Are these webs sites just about GLO or others?? This is just terrible that people would try to display important rituals. Those things are special and are meant for those who are choosen to know it.

Exactly. Or better yet, they post as "SigEp" and reveal some bogus secret about SAE, hoping that people will post SigEp secrets as a backlash. And a lot of [college educated] people fall for this.
UDZETA, it's a general message board set up for people to come and post GLO secrets. Sometimes you see a link to a dedicated website where you can supposedly find secrets on specific groups. Incidentally, a lot of these dedicated sites are maintained by actual members of the GLO deliberatley posting misinformation to throw would-be secret seekers off the trail. Clever idea, although the fake ritual info is pretty lame. I always feared this fake info would actually dissuade potential pledges because it's so shallow and ridiculous.
I try to police the general message boards and call "bullshit" when I see it (which is basically all the time), since I am in a position to do so.
I very much agree that these things are special, but this is the real world and there are a lot of people out there with no respect for the things others hold dear. A lot of people hate greeks, often for good reason.

Someone who knows
Someone who knows told me that the Kappa in the middle of many GLO names usually means "and"
It makes sense that Phi Kappa Psi means _____ and ______,
and Kappa Kappa Gamma means _______ and ________.
TKE, for example, might mean Tea and Krumpets.
Or Kappa might mean "not", as in ________ not _________,
so Pi Kappa Phi could mean Brotherhood, not bologna.
PS: keep this secret

That's true. In fact, if your GLO has the letter Phi, Delta, Kappa or Alpha, odds are you share that word with several other groups.

Kappa doesn't mean "and," it means "OR!" Get it right!

Folks all I can tell you about this gentleman, is he will not BS you!
Take to heart what he has to tell ya!
Yep there are always people with snouts like Blood suckers who are trying to find out things about what they do not belong and spread it like oleo!
