I couldn't agree more, but I don't think that this is inconsistent with the traditional secrecy of GLOs. That secrecy, when properly understood and respected, serves a valid purpose, as was discussed in this thread.

At the same time, no one should have to know our rituals to know what our values are -- we should be exemplars of the values our rituals teach. Alpha Sigma Phi's open motto states it so well: Causa Latet Vis Est Notissima -- "The cause is hidden, (but) the results well-known." The world should not need to know what words certain Greek letters stand for to know what the GLO that bears those letters stands for.
