I have to report here that most of the fraternities and sororities are nice secret societies that all have their own secrets and this is a really fun and excellent way to enjoy college and your alumni years.
That said, I am particularly peeved that one particular fraternity that I am knowledgeable about to a small degree does one secret that is done in such a way that it actually violates Torah Law (if you are jewish you might want to consider this) as it seems to me to place a stumbling block before the blind.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, the very first fraternity that I have ever drank a beer at as well, has a special credo that I believe is called "Phi Alpha". They publicize these two letters but they do not explain them to any person. To me this is putting a stumbling block before the blind as it is really unprofessional to have a special code that everyone knows the letters of, but noone knows the true words. This is a stumbling block because the person who hears this must be curious as to its true meaning and for us to know, we would have to ask a brother and clearly they are not to reveal a fraternity secret to the public. Perhaps it can be a neat way to initiate the curious, but I assure you that any person with an interest in Greek Activities might indeed consider that Phi Alpha is a curiousity and wonder as to its true meaning.
