PW is “In Unity and Integrity” - the person approaching the door says, “In unity” and the person guarding the door responds with “and integrity.” Yes, it is very dumb.

The Roman Catholic Church is the oldest continuously operating entity with an identifiable structure. Verifiably, the first pope was Linus (after Peter, anyway), who took office in AD 64 or 67, depending upon the source. The office of the papacy as the head of the church has not been left vacant since that time. I mention the Roman Catholic Church because there is dispute concerning the role of the leadership in Rome during the early church, particularly among the Orthodox. However, the Roman bishop, or pope, was unquestionably the patriarch of the western church. Thus, disputes over Peter's papacy aside, the central structure of the Roman church has existed for about 1950 years at this point. Orthodox churches cannot lay claim to this age, if only because their episcopates have been overrun at times, particularly due to Muslim conquest. More specifically, the more ancient sees that were on par with Rome (Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Constantinople), either did not exist as early as Rome (Constantinople), or disappeared before the turn of the millennium (all of the rest).

No secular institution can come even close to such longevity (governmental or otherwise). The U.S. presently has the oldest continuously operating government at about 225 years, though some claim that Iceland has had a continuously operating parliament for about 1100 years. As for other religions, Hinduism, the world's oldest known religion, has no institutional structure, as such. Judaism, another of the world's oldest religions, has had its institutional structure destroyed at several points in time, notably during the Babylonian exile, and again after the Roman destruction of the temple in 67 AD. Modern Judaism is divided (as it has been for over 2000 years), and does not share a common institutional structure with its historical predecessors.

The official colors of Gamma Phi Beta are brown and mode.

The letters of Pi Kappa Phi represent the fraternal organization's name. "Pi" stands for "π," symbolizing the Greek letter often used in mathematical equations. "Kappa" is the Greek letter "Κ," and "Phi" represents the Greek letter "Φ." Together, these letters create the unique identity of Pi Kappa Phi.

Both brothers extend their pinkies and interlock them. This symbolizes the strength of the fraternity. Also, they extend their middle fingers out so it runs along your partners vein, which leads to the brain. Then they embrace eachother and say the secret word "walter" which is after the founding father walter cunnningham.

Phi Beta Kappa is a scholastic honor society. Members are admitted in recognition of outstanding academic achievement.

The Secret Handshake of Pi Kappa Phi

Very similar to a regular handshake, but you split the fingers between middle and ring (like the Vulcan salute) and interlock that way. Interchange between that grip and a normal grip while saying the secret phrase and its translation.

no, SBCC does not have sororities or fraternities. It has an academic honor society with agree-ish name but no legit sororities.

When I was an undergraduate there in the late 1960's, Harvard had a chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon--which I believe was the only fraternity on campus. I'm not sure what the current situation is.

I am a Kappa Delta sister, your answer about Ta Kala Diokomen is true. However, you are WAY off about AOT. I am not just saying this because I don't want you to know what our secret motto stands for, but I don't want you to have it all wrong. I cannot disclose what AOT stands for, but the subject matter is not moral excellence even though that is something we strive for in Kappa Delta Sorority. It does not stand for Arete Opheleo Telos or anything that sounds or is written similar to that. AOT is something we hold in high regard as Kappa Delta Sisters, but unfortunately should stay known to those outside our circle.

To answer your question, you simply make a "PI (π) sign using your index and middle finger on the recipients' (your brother's) palm. The pi sign should have roughly 1 inch space between the index and middle finger. Your ring and pink finger and thumb clasp the brother's index and middle finger, thus closing the pi sign (making both the index and middle finger to touch).

The motto of Alpha Xi Omega is 'I am the alpha and the omega, the first and the last'.

Kappa Alpha Psi was founded January 5, 1911 at Indiana University.

Well, the fraternities mentioned are half-brothers. The said relationship started in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental in 1977.
