I doubt ours includes religious language, thankfully, but it is interesting how there's an attempt to make something exclusive and secret so people feel elite or what not. I would've assumed graduating with an engineering degree already sets one apart. But yes, I think it's damaging when places cling to tradition just because it's tradition and attempt to use it as a way to give themselves prestige while simultaneously oppressing those who their tradition manages to exclude.FrauTechhttp://frautech.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057597638819985082.post-69110861897556963392010-04-08T18:31:34.030-07:002010-04-08T18:31:34.030-07:00Hehe, thanks.
