Ritual being conducted in a student center room with paper covering the little door window from the inside and the paper falls off and someone walks by and looks in.

Been there, done that.

A woman from my hometown was a Zeta active when President Johnson's daughter was active. She said they weren't inside during ritual events.

Funny isn't it?

Yes, I have been to Chapters that did not have Houses or Churchs that We do in but Student Unions.

The SS do not attend the Ritual, they will stand out side and guard.

They do have respect for Rituals but carry big guns too!

If not, the Boss will raise hell because The Daughter or Son Will.

OOPs they get redesignated to the hinter land!

Which of his daughters was a Zeta? Was the other in a sorority?

In all practicality, does it matter that much if a non-member learns your ritual? Does that somehow take away from your experience?

I am with DU and AKL on this one.

Has anyone heard from wptw lately?

I don't mind if a non-member gets hold of my Ritual as long as it's not used maliciously -- certain websites from 2001 come to mind.

If a collector somehow comes across my Ritual and can appreciate the beauty in what is said in those words, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Sort of in-line with the thread:
Bush twin robbed in restaurant

Our Foreign Staff

One of President Bush’s daughters had her mobile phone and purse stolen in Argentina, despite her heavy Secret Service protection.

Off-topic, but one of Bush's staffers got mugged and his nose broken at one of the Waikiki bars I frequent last night.

Us too.

Plus, we have had numerous people accidently witness our pre-ritual, which happens outside the room. The looks are priceless.

A couple weeks ago, a certain group was having some sort of ritual next door to us in the student center. It sounded like they were having church service. Did they know that they weren't the only group meeting on the second floor?

We (APO) once had to conduct ritual in a small hotel ballroom, which unfortunately was the same room for the afterparty. Which had a bar. Which was already set up. Which the bartender wasn't allowed to leave unattended.

All I could do (as the helpful alum) was stand in front of the bartender the whole time and make sure he wasn't looking. And he never once raised his head, which I thought was nice of him. Although me glaring at him probably encouraged that.

I was under the impression that APhiO is a non secret fraternity. Is this wrong?

I believe so. Delta Upsilon is the only non-secret fraternity.

Our ceremonies are described as private. Induction and Initiation are not to be viewed by non-members.

HEHEHEHEHHEE sooo been there too. We not only put a piece of paper to cover the little window, but to hide the fact that we were using candles in a union room !!!

hehe hehe hehe.

Also ...we once had a woman from another org. just BUST ON INTO our formal meeting once with one of those knocks that really just meant I'm knocking but I'm coming in on my own. I'm not knocking to wait for you to answer the door...
