You are right that frat boys spill at least some secrets to girls. When I was in a frat, a girl who happened to date a member of our house, told one of our pledges with great accuracy and detail all the hazing that went on during initiation. I had to stand there and say what she saying was completely untrue and tell her she did not know what she was talking about because only real brothers know what goes on during our special initiation. Of course, everyone that was present knew she was right.

Organizations have the right to privacy/secrecy.

I agree that they have the rights to privacy but not secrecy. Think about it; it's not against any law to "spill the beans" of the dark rituals that go on in fraternities. Many of them are so crazy and detrimental to that person that they feel like they would be considered an outcast if they told people about it. (kinda like someone that saw an alien and is afraid to tell their family or something)

Some crazy, sexual, dark, and shady stuff goes on in frats, people need to be aware.

Its not against civil law, but it would be a breach of our Oaths, the breaking of would result in our expulsions from the Fraternity.

What kind of stuff do you think happens in college fraternities?

Ok now come on. That hurts man! Yeah beer is amazing, but who says that's all we do in fraternities? I mean don't get me wrong, Animal House is a classic and I love it, but it's all Hollywood! I was always told I look good in a suit, and if anyone ever called it a funny costume I would be quite confused. Also, I would kick my Big's ass if he even touched me with the paddle I made him. We don't hit each other with them! They're traditional gifts we give our big brothers when we get initiated. My paddle is hanging on the wall in his room.

The reason there may have been a problem with secrets being posted, is because every Fraternity's ritual is different. They all have decades of history behind them. We don't want to lose that!

Here's an example. If you and a good friend had something that bonded you two together that only the two of you did, it wouldn't feel as special if one day you went out and EVERYONE knew what it was and did the exact same thing! So that's why we like to keep them secret.

I'm a Sigma Nu Brother, and I'm proud to be one. However, one thing I will always remember, that some people forget, is that being in a Fraternity makes me no better than anyone else. I try to be the best I can be because of it, but I look at people outside of Fraternities as complete equals.
