I think 'secretive' is the wrong word although I guess it seems that way. I think a better word to describe the NPHC intake process would be 'discreet'. It's a subtle difference, yes. But I think that we in NPHC organizations expect our prospectives to exercise a certain amount of discretion when involved in intake.
Also, for those who come through collegiate intake, the new line's probate is a pretty big deal. A probate is a 'show' when you show everyone that you are now a member of the organization you chose. It's much more fun when it's a big surprise who the new members are. I know that I have gone to probates and thought Wow, never would have thought she would plegde XYZ!
