I must be the only other DU here on GreekChat....so I guess I'll reply...
I think I can sum up my feelings by saying this...what we lack in secrecy, we make up for in our brotherhood/friendship, our character, our culture, and justice. There's nothing to hide. Just because our rituals and meanings are open, doesn't make them any less important to every one of us; and it doesn't weaken our brotherhood at all. If anything, it makes it that much stronger. We still share the commonality of having gone through our ritual and meanings, but we're free to let others know what we're about and what we believe in!
Plus it was pretty cool having my family and girlfriend to see me get initiated...the most important and greatest day of my life, thus far.
No offense to anyone else...those are just my feelings and part of my reasons why I'm a DU.
But anyway! To my knowledge there is another non-secret fraternity out there...but the name escapes me at the moment. I think it was founded in California???? Not too sure though! Maybe someone can help me out on this one???
