Outrageous is in the eye of the beholder. Using a non-religious analogy, the Pledge of Allegiance is super-duper to some people, whatever to others, kind of annoying to some who can stand quietly while others recite it, and really gets up the hackles of some. As we become more diverse and the idea of what a "sorority girl" is changes, I would think more of the latter would surface.

And, while I've never gone in search, I think your comment about a disgruntled ex-member blabbing actually does happen. I just like the idea of preserving your secrets, even if I don't know what they are. And the way I can preserve it is to not do the leg-work to find out for myself. Even though there's definitely a part of me who would like to know the details. Like, how similar is the symbolic meaning of Alpha Xi Delta versus Alpha Gamma Delta? But that's a discussion that is pointless to have since, you know, nobody's talking!
