Actually, now that you make me think of it...I believe it was originally Shane Foley that questioned me about it in the first place, coincidentally. He, in his usual "facilitating a response" demeanor, gave us ELC's quite some time to come up with it during one of our training sessions (he was our manager at the time), and I eventually figured it out, I believe. It took some thinking, but once you figure it out...it's really obvious. Just think:

No other place, other than in a Phi closet or during a ZAX or initiation event, would this piece of ritual equipment ever be seen. For example, pretend we had a red table cloth as one of pieces of regalia. Well, while it might be the most memorable or "ancillary" (as John Gezelius appropriately called this specific one) item to your esoteric view of our ritual, it is still something that an everyday person might see on the Pizza Hut dining table. So, think of something that nobody (other than initiates) would ever have the opportunity to see. I think, if you run through the entire event and think of all the items, you'll be able to come up with it. I'm glad Shane brought this one up!
