Of course every ritual and every education system is different. But the most if not all of the Greek system is based on freemasonry/ templar. Ignoring the foundations of the American Greek system is, in my opinion, not the way to go. I know at UT they have "university" lodges that consist largely of members of social fraternities. This brings brothers all across the Greek system together. UT has one of the best Greek life's in the country. I don't believe that bs that IFC fraternities purposefully do this, I think it is just a lack of knowledge that they are doing it. The shared interest is brotherhood. So lets expand it. I care not for individual aims. I never said the rituals, values, and education is crap, I am saying that we are all alike rather than different, and that we should support the pillars that formed the American Greek system. Literary societies are the foundation for our western civilization, they not only predating the social fraternity system, but the some of the fraternity system pre-renaissance (and even prior to that). The greatest minds met in secret with handshakes and signs and discussed "their feelings" about the king, science, poetry, art, etc. This lead to an explosion of ideas. The literary societies were like these, but sometimes had misguided aims which lead to their removal. Philosophy is the guide. I would like to see the Texas State Greek system achieve all that it can and unity and brotherhood should be championed.
