Yea for the DZs above and Hootie! Secrecy enriches our traditions and makes them special to us. If someone told me, say, the Delta Gammas' secrets, it wouldn't be thrilling, I'd just say, "Huh," because I wouldn't have experienced all the fabulous traditions that go with their sisterhood. Where's the thrill?
And can you imagine having an audience during initiation? The pledges and officers would be turned into performers, not participants. What if a high schooler attended her older sister's initiation? Why would she bother to go through it if she pledged that group later?
The Masons have secrets. I couldn't care less because that has no bearing on my life and is none of my business.
