There has been and is still too much carelessness, too much malice against greeks, too much thirst for exposé among the general public, and too little value placed on honoring the vows GLO members make in their lives. It is best to start working your mindset around to that eventuality, and to start thinking how to evolve beyond it. Because it's coming.

I think the "thirst for expose (sorry not looking for that special accent) among the general public" has a lot to do with the fact that we ARE so secretive. When we all walk around going, "OMG no I can't tell you anything about my ritual because it's sacred and special and TOP SECRET INFO", people start imagining that it involves goat's blood and swallowing knives. And I certainly hope that no one actually DOES have a ritual like that!
I liked how someone else on GreekChat described their ritual, to a family member, as a wedding. Symbolic, special, and nice. If more people knew that we weren't secretly Satanic cult members doing all kinds of crazy things in KKK outfits, they might not want to know so badly.
On another note, I don't think that what wptw does is so horrible...
Wptw, do you share your findings with others or is it mainly for your own interest?
