Dumb question:

The Beta Sigma Phi website says that "Beta Sigma Phi is not a secret society. The Greek letters of its name represent Life, Learning and Friendship, which is the organization's motto."

However, one of the requirements the OP had for sororities was secret rituals, and according to some other stuff I'm seeing, it seems secret. So is Beta Sigma Phi secret or not? I would assume the international website is right, but there's probably something I'm missing.

Just like most collegiate sororities, we do have an open motto and one that is secret. We promote ourselves with Life, Learning and Friendship because those are the main parts of our sorority. Life comes at you pretty fast, either in college or out. We always learn something at each one of our meetings (it's a requirement to have a program set up of this sort). I've met some of the greatest friendships I'll ever have through Beta. Like with every greek lettered organization, we too have our own rituals. Each one has different meaning based upon the years that you have been in the sorority. The International website is correct in the information that we are not a secret society. We are a friendship organization...that just happens to be a sorority too. LOL

Just to add what my sister has said...

Beta Sigma Phi is NOT secret. Our rituals are private, but they may be viewed by special guests. For instance, family members may be asked to attend. A member may only view rituals that are appropriate for her degree.
