I think the main point here is that there's a simple respect involved...
I agree with Billy 100% - if I came onto the site and saw that a link selling my ritual book was posted, I would be heated. Think about it. It's not just Greeks who come and look at this board. It may be mostly Greeks who post, but there are others who have in direct opposition of the Greek system. As an example, think of all the random posts that have come up of people wanting to bash fraternities, sororities, and those who join. Isn't it just a dream for these people to come on and find a direct link of where to find a ritual book? Not everyone here is of the mindset that these things are for only certain eyes, and I'm sure someone would love to spend an extra $200 or some large amount to get their hands on a ritual book.
I can't put into words how angry I would be if I saw a link to a Kappa Sig ritual posted on ebay. I feel horrible for those people who now see links whereby non-members can purchase their secrets. This is something I feel strongly about. Yes, this is a forum on which to discuss issues, to "chit chat" so to speak, but there is still a line that has to be drawn. An issue such as this has to be addressed to the national headquarters of the fraternity in question, not on an open forum such as this.
