I've seen actual pledge books and what not on sale on EBAY...I think they should regulate that as well, because no one should be subjected to their organization's secrets and rituals getting out.

I don't know about that. I know there is nothing secret in my pledge manual. When I was a new member, a gal down the hall who was a Phi Mu and I spent one morning sitting around looking at each other's books, and I know I checked out now-ex's Theta Chi pledge manual. We were still new at this Greek life thing and it was fun to see how the other groups were similar and different. The thing is, at least in NPC groups, nothing a pledge/new member learns is secret - it's all stuff anyone could learn (although why would they bother?). Even after you are initiated, nothing secret is written down.
Of course, if anyone DOES have anything secret in their pledge manual, I would totally agree that it should be kept secret and regulated!
