Rituals

[kdonline]

Lots of unhappy (former) members, jilted ex-boy/girlfriends, and initiates who don't care anymore are the reasons why GLO rituals are revealed to non-members.

Any well-rounded greek would realize that all GLO's have the same basic purposes for existing - it's just the way we all state them which makes us different.

You'll realize this when you meet other greeks throughout life.

And, by the way, I have found copies of ritual information of many GLOs on the internet (including my own). Sure, it's interesting reading, and you can see how similar our groups all really are. But my conscience told me that reading others' ritual was not right.

I feel sorry that initiates were careless enough to reveal ritual. It's disappointing to see any of it on the internet.

But really, once you know, what's the big deal? You certainly won't make friends with members of that GLO if you go around saying what you know. And when you're 30something like me, no one really cares that you know [insert GLO here]'s handshake. So what!?

BTW, I have mentioned my findings to other sisters (in our Yahoogroup, alumnae association meetings and at our National Convention), but I have never revealed what I have found out, nor have I told anyone where to find it.

It's just not right.

I would hope that other greeks who find out my ritual would extend the same courtesy.
