The First Amendment has precedence over your GLO's policy about telling the world about your fraternity experiences. If you want to take out a full-page ad in the New York Times revealing the secret work and the mystical meanings, you could. (Or, to save money, you could post it on the Internet.) Your GLO would probably expel you, however.
A slender volume of warm, positive thoughts about sorority membership would make a nice gift for initiates or Founders Day favors.
BTW, other writers have published accounts of their fraternal life. M.E. Kerr in ME ME ME --she was an ADPi at the the University of Missouri; IIRC she writes that she fully counted on being a Kappa. In Blackberry Winter the renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead is bitter about her rush experience at DePauw. She, too, counted on being a Kappa--IIRC because of a hometown connection--and did not get a Kappa bid. She did not pledge anything. (When I read that in the early 70's she was still alive, and I wanted to write to say, "What about Alpha Gam?" and I later found out that the AGD chapter was inactive at the time she was at DePauw.) Just think what Kappa missed!
