Never fear! I assure you, the Order of the Pink Garter is NOT Phi Mu ritual. It's a wonderfully goofy ceremony that was made up to "initiate" husbands (and sometimes boyfriends) into their life with a Phi Mu--it doesn't reveal any of Phi Mu's Ritual at all.
The reason Pam was sending it out privately is probably because, even though it's NOT Ritual, it's not something the whole world needs to be able to get their hands on. Like our official signature, though, it's not critical that it be kept secret.
P.S. - Only our Pledging, Initiation, Closed Founders' Day, and Closed Memorial services are truly secret (and even then, Pledging isn't totally secret, but that's neither here nor there). The Open Founders' Day, Open Memorial, 3-D, and I *believe* Ribboning services are also found in our Ritual. The Mother's Pin ceremony is an official ceremony, but it is not found in our Ritual. (At least that's how I remember it, having been my chapter's Ritual Chair for 4 of my 5 years in college, five years ago.)
