Food for thought: don't learn chants, etc. of an organization THAT YOU DON'T BELONG TO (and likely will not ever belong to with such an attitude)

Honestly, she/he can learn whatever public info she/he chooses to learn on his/her own time. He/she probably won't be running around using these strolls, chants, steps, etc. because there's no venue conducive to that.

JustThinking is just trying to rile feathers. He/she already knows the answer to all of these threads and posts.

He/she also knows that there are tons of people who chose to learn chants, steps, etc. and are STILL only aspirants 20 years later. It is what it is.

There are just better things to do with one's time. They could ban stepping and step shows TOMORROW and learning an organization's steps would be for naught, even if you did make it.

No matter how MIP or pledging changes over the years, history is history, and I would never fault someone for wanting to learn it.

But the cultural aspects of BGLOs.... nah, just let that be the "cool" parts of making it, if you make it.

Since you are scared to, I do.

I didn't get to be mature at work today, so I have to have that outlet someplace!

I like your answer. I think it was the answer that based my argument FOR pre-learning on. I also like the last part, too. I feel that if you know it, it won't hurt you, and if you don't make it, oh well. But I'm not trying to "rile feathers." I would hope no on on here has any.

And I know you like that signature. Stop hatin'.

I don't know, Dr. Phil, I don't think Just Thinking has done anything too too heinous as not to deserve a polite answer. I'm not endorsing her or anything, just trying to be courteous...

Have fun.

You could be a 90 year old man named Bruce Leroy, so do whatever makes your toes curl.

So?

[Gusteau]

I'm just saying that I don't really have any reason to believe ill of her (or him/her if you prefer) so I'm just putting my opinion out there just like everyone else on GC.

uh...congrats?

LOL. You definitely have limited interactions with Masons and OES members then.

You're clearly trying to pick a bone and prove a point that most of us don't give a damn about. Find a site with young members who would care about your opinion. Good luck.

My whole fam is consistent of FMs/Stars. And I didn't ask you to comment. If you want to waste your life commenting on things you don't "give a damn about," blow me and keep it moving. Simple as that.

I am so incredibly happy someone pointed this out. Reading that signature made my head hurt.

Blow yourself while you learn some chants and steps.

LOL. He/she thinks he/she is here to tell us the error of our ways. Nothing groundbreaking or longlasting there.
