exactly....
mine involved a circle of fire, 9 pineapple, and a rusty nail...it was brutal..  
if you're unwilling to share the initation process of the Masons then why would you think a member of a BGLO would on the net or elsewhere tell some random username anything, be for real....

Come on Ma! I could understand if I were asking for secrets but I'm not. I'm just looking for insights. Insights don't betray the fidelity one has for their organization. Oh, and I'm not trying to expose anyone either so, Relax.

Regardless, it's still taboo. It's not the sort of thing you're supposed to ask questions about, let alone on a public forum.

Taboo? Says who? Yoy can't tell people that they can't ask questions. If you feel a question is inappropriate just don't answer it. There's no need to be hostile.

I could answer that question if I knew exactly what you meant by, "information". Are we talking general info, or deep ritual which by the way, I would never attempt to attain from any person or persons, under dishonorable means? Now, if there is no such thing as general info concerning greek intake processes, and if it is truly matter of security, then I understand.

Come on man, you know what I mean.
If you want to be a member of a BGLO, then all the "general information" you need is on our national websites. Or, you can ask a member in person. It's that simple.
Since you're a Mason, I find it very hard to believe that you don't have ANY fraternity members in your life that you can ask these questions of.
"Ask one to be one" doesn't just apply to Masonry.

Ya know..... never mind....
I feel like you've already been given all the advice you need on this matter. It's actually starting to be insulting.
As Cowboy said to you on 9-15:
1.) You are asking in the wrong place
2.) Go to the Omega Psi Phi website and learn the history!
3.) Talk directly to the Omega Men in the Chapter where you plan 2pledge
We cannot help you here.

She's not being hostile. She's telling you simple facts you can't seem to accept.
