I think (1) that anyone reading the info on sites like these should exercise a healthy dose of skepticism about their accuracy, and (2) we shouldn't be helping people find those sites by posting URLs here.
It has nothing to do with the First Amendment -- that merely prohibits the government from abridging free speech rights. And I doubt there are many signed contracts out there where initiates agree not to reveal secrets.
No, I imagine that members of most GLOs took an
oath, a solemn promise not to reveal the secrets of our fraternity. The willingness of some people to break that oath by revealing those secrets tells me much more about those people and their lack of honor and integrity than it does about any GLO's ritual.
