It depends on what the different parts of the meeting are about.

Usually the minutes aren't secret, its certain topics that are secret. Topics like Ritual etc. So you exclude those.

Or if the sorority is ultra-paranoid you can still make the scheduling part of a document that is distributed.

Usually when someone trots out the idea that minutes are secret and shouldn't be distributed it goes back a couple of generations to a minute taker that really didn't t want to do the work (not that I blame them).

In order for reading the minutes to be very effective the chapter would have to take copious notes. Practically writing down everything the recording officer says and then have some time to digest it. Otherwise the attention span and memory for something read like that is not great.

In order to make that effective you would have to break the minutes down into sections and vote on each section.
