There was a GC thread about non-members seeing the ritual and ritual paraphernalia.....some people were shocked! simply shocked! at the mere suggestion that the Manual of Mystics would be even seen by the guy working the printing press, that a seamstress who'd never been near a college campus would touch the very cord of that ritual robe, or a worker would glue the "Shield of the Badge" to the "Lantern That Guides Us."
Guess what, folks? Somebody prints the ritual. Somebody stitches the robes and the stoles and the tablecloths. Somebody assembles the emblem that all the initiates put their hands on when they take that vow. And those somebodies most likely aren't members of your GLO or anyone else's.
If your new MSC is the staff liaison to the ritual coordinator she may see the ritual, but dollars to doughnuts the secret-est stuff isn't printed in it. A fellow Greek is probably more respectful of your proceedings than a non-Greek.
Cheers!
