It's not required to register your material anymore. Registering is helpful because it creates a presumption that you own it the intellectual property, but it's not a requirement.
My only hesitation on Sigma Nu having the copyright for that material is its age. So much of GLO ritual material is old and a lot of of it is getting close to coming out of copyright protection, just by virtue of its age.
There's a brief explanation of copyright terms here, but it's only a little helpful:
