The influence of Freemasonry on Greek-letter fraternities is ubiquitous! All anyone has to do is read Duncan's Ritual (of Freemasonry,if you aren't already a Mason!) and compare them to your own ritual. What you'll probably find are common themes.linguistic allusions, common structural elements and in some cases the wholesale taking over of certain ritualistic elements verbatim. I would venture to say that an overwhelming majority of GLO's rituals have some association or derivation at some level with Freemasonry, or through the other fraternal organizations which were an offshoot of them, like the Oddfellows, Knights of Pythias,etc.
