Greek Secrecy

Anyone not involved in a fraternity or sorority knows (or should know) not to ask any members about Greek rituals. One member who wishes to remain anonymous says it creates "an everlasting bond between frat brothers...[one] that cannot be shattered."

These highly sacred secrets and practices shared only between members upon initiation is and will forever be off-limits to any non-members and media, especially. "Many of the Greek organizations have strict media policies to follow, like the chapter's name cannot be revealed and certain information is kept out of the public," an anonymous CSULB sorority member says.

As secretive as fraternities and sororites may seem in our very own Cal State, members can still be recognized by their several items of clothing dressed in their Greek letters (most commonly, the token hooded sweaters, sweat/pajama pants, and patches for backpacks).

However, according to Caitlin Roberts, CSULB Greek life coordinator, underground secret social organizations still exist in several Ivy League Schools.
