Abstract | The growth of Phi Beta Delta cannot be attributed to any one cause. World interest in globalization and in cultural and education exchanges, along with the happy coincidence of a number of enthusiastic leaders, is certainly part of the explanation. However, it was the decision that it should be a Greek honorary society with the accompanying rituals of the Greek tradition which was a fateful for its success. Injunctions to chapters to have a meaningful induction ceremony take on more weight when Phi Beta Delta is put into historic perspective as an organization with ritual. Those who have had to explain at length to the uninitiated what a Greek honorary movement is, or why Phi Beta Delta bears a Greek name, may have had a few doubts about whether the Greek aspect has been so helpful to growth. Certainly, visitors to the United States from overseas, who are part of the reason for Phi Beta Delta's existence, find the whole Greek scene of American universities to be bewildering. This article examines the Greek societies in the United States and the importance of rituals in it. (ERIC). |
