I read that passage completely differently, the list seems to be "Here are things that all modern social fraternities do: Grip, colors, motto in Greek, oath, constitution, etc. , etc. and they were all made by the original members of Phi Beta Kappa" The *one* thing that modern social fraternities do that the founders of Phi Beta Kappa didn't come up with was the Whistle.
