Dude, you're trying way too hard, especially since lots of what you say has already been dealt with in this thread years ago.

There is no Time magazine article that states the Sigma chi Ritual is 2nd best kept secret, I looked for hours on many websites and search engines with no avail. That was likely a false statment made by a Sigma Chi to throw off the "diggers" as many of you here are.

Did you even read this thread? Where do you come off calliing "many" of the people here "diggers"?
Did you read the source you cited (which was already referenced in this thread four years ago)? Nowhere does it say that Sigma Chi's ritual was submitted to the Library of Congress. All it says is this:

The origin of the LOC-Rituals urban legend is, like most legends, cloudy. The origins of the legend might stem from the Copyright Act of 1870, and the subsequent practice of depositing materials in the Library of Congress for copyright protection. This law, combined with the resulting lore that built up around the "biggest library in the United States," might have led many to conclude that the Library of Congress has every book known to exist in its collection. For Greeks, the conclusion follows that, since their rituals are indeed books, and the Library of Congress has in its collection all books known to exist, then... Of course, the LOC doesn't contain all the books known to exist, only a very large collection.

So, all the source you've cited says is that there's a reason Greeks might assume that their rituals were submitted to the LOC. If you're going to impress us with your research, at least get it right.

Being one of the hallowed few to actually see the real ritual and be enshrined in headquarters as a member
|
Okay, still trying too hard. "Hallowed few"? "Enshrined in headquarters"? Last I knew, Sigma Chi (a fraternity for which I have great respect) has over 15,000 collegiate members and over 200,000 living alumni. That's more than "a few."

After seeing the ritual, our chapter advisor assured us that headquarters releases false rituals every year for parents to see before they let their son be a part of it. I can find you 2 "official" rituals right now that are completely different in text.
|
Are you claiming that the national leadership of Sigma Chi Fraternity intentionally lies to parents by releasing false rituals so that they will let their sons join? Really?!

Some of you may wonder why I would go out of my way to make this wall of text to set the facts straight if it wasn't really the ritual posted. the answer to that is very simple. I don't like anyone disrespecting my fraternity without justification. You see that posted ritual and you lose respect for us because it's no longer a secret.
|
What thinking person would lose respect for a fraternity just because its ritual (or a fake ritual) has been leaked? I mean, I'm certainly not going to let some of the dribble you've posted here (coupled with the fact that you bumped an old thread that might otherwise have remained forgotten just to post the dribble) affect my respect for your fraternity.

Now maybe some of you are former pledges that tried to be one of the hallowed few to see the sacred ritual of Sigma Chi and failed. Maybe some of you are the outsider that is envious of the popularity that comes with being part of this fraternity. Maybe some of you are are just opposition defiant and demand sources to every statment ever made by those who cherish the code that we live by. Whatever the case may, I am truly sorry you will never experience the true values at which we hold ourselves.

Again, you didn't even read this thread, did you?
And again, you're trying
way too hard.
