I am interested in opinions on the use of rituals prior to the current
ritual for the pledging and brotherhood ceremonies. As a fraternity we do
often do so. When chapters take pledges in the Spring semester after
convention, most simply use the pledge ritual from previous to convention in
their ritual books.
While I think it would be *VERY* cool to read the initiation ritual that my
chapter founders had in 1929, I don't think it would be appropriate to use
it in place of our current brotherhood ritual to induct pledges. How far
back do people feel comfortable going?
