 Elites apparently value their family history and lineage, with each family having their own unique "Battle Poem" detailing the deeds and actions of its members during war times. These "war poems" of the Sangheili may have influenced the [[Mgalekgolo]] into reciting war poetry as well, due to the [[hunters]]' deep respect for Elites. It is theorized that only Sangheili males are sent into service as warriors and soldiers, with no female Sangheili ''known'' to have been seen in military service, though whether there is a significant physical or cultural difference is not known.

 The Elites have very close knitted relationships, referring to their own comrades as brothers, and remaining intensely loyal to them. The grieving after the death of one of their numbers, when they would pray and mourn for their comrades showed this loyalty.
-There is also a rumor that elites do a kind of ceremonial dance consisting of jagged thrusts and patterns with their heads and feet before they mate.
