Sometime on 3/14/98, Randy Finder banged this out on the keyboard:

Are you sure about that? I happen to have a ritual book in front of me, and
although it's a bit out of date (1995), I didn't think the pledge and
initiation rituals had been changed that much. The pledge ritual is where
they do the history bit about:
"I created the name, Alpha Phi Omega, the motto and the Greek words and
theit meaning and wrote the Ritual. Everett W. Probst designed the pin and
drew the Coat-of-Arms. Thane S. Cooley suggested the handclasp. Ellworth S.
Dobson and Gordon M. Looney helped write the Constitution and Bylaws."
The initiation ritual reveals (things that I'm not going to mention here),
but makes no mention of the Toast Song (except to sing it at the end *g*).
