Greek life terminology (fraternities/sororities)?

What is the meaning of the term "sand/sands"?

I have seen it used between orgs of the MGC and NPHC at my university.

Are non-greek persons not allowed to know its meaning?

I assume non-greeks are not allowed to use it of course, I was just curious of what it meant.

    I've heard it used as a synonym for initiation or the process of becoming a full member.

    It is to tell you that the word sand can also be used plurally.
