Who is the person on the top of the DST seal, is this not a greek goddess? One of the sites he posted showed it was:

http://www.csugreeks.com/Chapter%20P...SigmaTheta.htm

Is this not recognizing other Gods? He also said that during many rituals a person had to state that they would be under the shadow of Minerva. Is this again not recognizing another god/goddess. He also stated who the elephant represented and showed that is was in the appendix (I think A) of the rights and rituals book for DST.

The main thing I was doing was giving someone information on Mr. Lewis and how he does state truth but the best thing was to see him and get your own individual take. I, myself have seen many rights and rutual books of GLOs that friends have shown me that admitted that it was just a college thing for them, so I was able to reference many of Mr. Lewis's quotes and book cites.

We do not worship nor idolize Minerva, nor do we put her before God (use the right terminology if you are going to reference the Bible.) As the website stated she is a symbol--one depicting wisdom--nothing more, nothing less. And she is not atop our seal. BTW, did you notice that the website had our founding date wrong? Or did you believe everything you read on there, although it was not a Delta website. As for the ritualistic stuff he stated, again he is WRONG.

And the elephant in our Rights and Ritual book? Okay this made me crack up, especially since there is no such document. But just out of curiousity who did he say the elephant represented? I may need to enlighten our leaders on this.

So unless you can quote directly from Delta's or any other BGLO's official documents, I suggest you stay silent on such things and quit parroting an unreliable source.
