NPHC orgs originated many Greek traditions as did non-NPHC orgs. Newer orgs were influenced by the established Greek traditions and adopted certain traditions, assigning meanings to them that are relevant to the orgs. So, for example, you have organizations that only salute (no stepping/strolling), but have adopted "Innnncorporated." We all learn from each other. However, I don't know of many viable newer organizations that adopt traditions simply because they "think it's cool" without really considering the effect.
Again, I can only speak for Theta Nu Xi, but we understand where this particular tradition came from within BGLOs. I realize that members of mainstream organizations often have in their minds that members of younger organizations have no grounding in history. The truth is that, at least for Theta Nu Xi, we are serious about what we're doing and we don't take things lightly. This isn't a game.
