===Family===
Family history and lineage are greatly valued, with each family having their own unique ''"Battle Poem"'' detailing the deeds and actions of its members during war times. These "epics" may have influenced the recitation of war poetry among the [[Mgalekgolo]], due to their deep respect for Sangheili. It is theorized that mostly Sangheili males are sent into service as warriors and soldiers, as few female Sangheili have been seen to have served in the military. Whether sexual dimorphism exists in Sangheili or if there is a significant difference in gender roles is not known. ''Halo 3'' players can choose to have female Sangheili characters, though the models for the genders are exactly the same, the option only changing the voice used in sound effects. However, given that this is multiplayer mode, it is of debatable cannon.

The warriors form very close knitted relationships, referring to their comrades as "brothers" and remaining intensely loyal to them. This loyalty is shown in the custom of grieving after the death of a fallen comrade, a ritual which includes prayer for the dead warrior.
