Maintaining secrecy?

One of my alltime favorite Greekchat posts is from a "former DZ" who explained to anyone who read it how our entire Ritual was based on the Tales of the Arabian Nights.

You have a link to that, if it's still around. It would be funny to read I think.

Dang. There goes my whole perception of DZ. I thought you were the Daughters of Zeus.

It seems like word of secrets (especially handshakes) gets around pretty easily. I personally know the handshakes of two other Panhellenic sororities -- a couple of my friends in fraternities showed me (without me asking, unfortunately). And yes, I know they're real, because I could tell by the girls' faces when the fraternity guy did it to them. I'm sure girls know the ADPi one too. However, I don't go around bragging that I know XYZ's secrets.. I know how important ritual is and I have more respect for them than that.

Anyway, I don't think it's a huge deal, because even if you do know the secrets, you can never know the bond that the initiated members have.
