There isn't (or shouldn't be) ANYTHING secret about the new member period. If an NPC group is being secretive, well, I'd wonder what kind of hazing they are doing, sadly.

New member periods generally consist of weekly meetings, held at the same time as chapter meetings; a retreat; attending general sorority functions such as mixers, dances and philanthropy events; getting gifts from your big sister (and finding out who she is); and maybe working on a pledge class project that will benefit the chapter. During meetings you'll learn about your national and local history, your songs, your symbols, the other Greeks on campus, and other non-secret things. You'll meet the older sisters and bond with them.

What happens in initiation is secret, but if your pledge period has been done right, you'll feel, "Oh! This is what ABC stands for," and it should feel like a natural culmination of what you learned during your pledge period.
