So for your fraternity/sorority would the Equipment list be something that would be public? (Yes, I know there may be more needed for the ritual than the items on the site such as candles)
For my fraternity (non-NIC), Alpha Phi Omega, while there isn't an order form of what's for the ritual, I have seen the contents of the kit necessary for ritual described at banquet for an area conference and there were non brothers in the room at the time. The kit was being given away as a door prize based on the brothers who came to the seminar on proper presentation of the ritual.

I have seen that website, too, and I found it quite surprising.
Nothing exists like that for any NPHC org I know of, but I have seen public/semi-public lists of appropriate ritual attire. But again, not for properties.
