emb021 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Seriously, the "WWW" refers to the OA's real or secret name, only known to members. "Order of the Arrow" is the public name. There is nothing sinister about this. This is very similiar to college fraternities/sororities. The greek letters that make up their 'name' are really the initials of their secret name. For instance, Phi Beta Kappa, is the initials of the phrase "philosophia biou kubernetes", which means "love of learning is the guide to life". So "Phi Beta Kappa" is the public expression of their private name, "philosophia biou kubernetes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narraticong Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Back in my wise-guy, teenage years, it stood for "We Want Women". I don't remember that we ever had success... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
