And, while there have unfortunately been cases of people dying due to hazing, I do not believe that people were "dying left and right".

Actually both are not myths

I know for a fact that ours is not on file for the following reasons
I have been there numerous times when i lived in Dc being stationed in the army and actually looked there for hard copies and found nothign while i did find other fraternities ritual books there but they were in a different section.. i asked and the guide said when they did it they put them in a different seciton etc..... to discourage thoose checking on it

and as for the brothel thing im guessing your talking about cities saying no to sororities wanting houses atleast thats the way it is in flint.
That is not a myth i asked a judge who lives by our house and am a police officer now and looked up county laws and it says in it (i cant remember exact words) no place shall allow its residents to be of 5 or more females belonging to a Female only organization which i ncase would therefore be considered a brothel.......

Its a stupid law and if you ask me pretty sexist especially in flint. Which is becoming a big college town when we have u of m flint,baker,mott,and kettering all within 3 miles of each other.

I pologize for my typing also my wrist is busted up

bird+me on crotch rocket= hurt hand

Wait...you know for a fact it's not a myth because you haven't seen them?

Give us a link to the law to prove it.

ETA: Why does every person wanting to disprove the brothel myth forget the exact wording

Ritual looker.

I also call shenanigans on this because the LoC catalog is RIGHT THERE ON THE INTERNET and doesn't list any GLO rituals as far as I can see.

As LaneSig said, a Greek Urban Legend. The one thing that changes with the telling is whether it was Reagan who kept the Teke ritual out, Truman who kept the Lambda Chi ritual out . . . .
