I'm speechless. I don't think I've ever felt so offended on behalf of
another person or organization in my life. I don't know who you are, but
you obviously have a unresolved issues with Sigma Chi. Out of respect for
them, I did not read past the first line. I simply scrolled quickly down
and back to get the general gist of what you were saying.
Words can't express how reprehensible I find your actions. If someone had
posted our rituals for the world to see, I'd be furious. I'm assuming
you're a former brother who depinned or a pledge who depledged. Either
way, you should know what you're despoiling. Either way, Sigma Chi is
better off without you because you have no respect for the enduiring
secrecy of the rituals of your former fraternity.
Like I said, I was speechless. I can't fathom your hostility. I only hope
you get over it.

I have to agree with Shana here. You have spoiled something that has
thrived for over 100 years. I know that the founders of my fraternity, Phi
Delta Theta, didn't start it up just to have it ruined 150 years later. It
is the same with Sigma Chi, our Miami Triad brothers. Your lack of respect
for their secrets sickens me. And to let you know, I have alerted Sigma's
GHQ of your actions. I hope they find you, you sorry little bastard.

Take it elsewhere freak. If your life is lead around by the collar of
hate of a certain fraternity it's only going to end up a sad life.

I'd have to agree with you there. On the face of it, all houses, when it
comes to their "secrets," are invarious. Yeah, different handshakes,
different greetings, etc., but when it comes down to it these secrets are
bullshit alone. These secrets only become important when you understand
the history of your house and incorporate it with your experience in the
house. So yeah, for jeopardy's sake I could possibly pass as a Sigma Chi,
but
in reality, I'll never be a Sigma Chi guy(which is fine, since I'm in
another house.) And it sounds to me like you never
became a real Sigma Chi yourself. It's too bad that you were
initiated...you really
wasted your time and Sigma Chi's.

You just can't say it any better than that. Bravo and Kudo's to you.

I agreed with her up until the last point. Nothing irks me more as a
person who believes their ideas are more valid because they sign their
name to it.
An idea is valid because of what it contains, not who said it. Of
course, I didn't sign my name to this so my point is obviously not as
good as some peoples.

It was once said that "two people can keep a secret if one of them is
dead." I'd hoped greek rituals are exempt to some extent due to the
respect offered by its members and pledges (this includes deactivated
pledges and members.)

At the risk of being controversial, I say bravo to this post and I admire
his courage to break ranks and expose fraternities.
All-in-all, a job well done, young chap!
Why? What's to admire here? As far as we know, Sigma Chi did nothing to
him. He hasn't come out and said that he's doing this as retalitation for
something they did to him. It seems to be simply an act of spite.
You say he needs to "expose fraternties". It's not as if they're
sacrificing virgins or worshipping satan behind closed doors. We have a
right to our secrets. These men have done nothing wrong ( Innoncent till
proven guilty, remember?! ), and therefore have done nothing to deserve
this vitrolic and sensless attack on thier tradtions and rituals. By
implying that this man, who is hiding himself in the anonymity of the
usenet, has done something brave serves only to feed into his meglomanical
cosmology. Basically, you're encouraging his hatred.
I just don't get it.

I know I would feel like hell if my sorority ritual book was published on
the web for all to see. I agree with the other posts that it has not
meaning with out experience.
I am sorry for this individual, actually.
Sorry that he does ot know the meaning of trust
Sorry that he does not know the meaning of brotherhood
Sorry that he will never experience being a member of a GLO to the fullest
I'm saddened that something like this had to happen.
