Everywhere this has occurred, who knows, but one account states that the NPHCers who arrived found the IFC fraternity, for example, to be doing some similar things that the NPHCers do. Not the same but similar...one's imagination should kick in here.
So...aside from traditions that are allowed "above ground," it is difficult to say what people are doing behind closed doors (which has been said in this thread, too) unless people are talking too darn much. And that happens sometimes, of course.

I agree with you.
I think that our organizations may have more in common "behind closed doors" than we like to think. Which is why it bothers me when people assume that "white orgs" aren't "tough" because we don't "pledge" hard.
Either way, I was more referring to the fact that some cultural orgs make their pledges keep their pledgeship a secret, as opposed to NIC/NPC orgs.
And to Senusret I, there is no fundamental difference between a "line" and a "pledge class." Its just different terms.
But my point was that the fact that these cultural orgs use the terms that NPHC orgs use proves that they "borrow" a lot from the NPHC.
