I remember asking my father once what something about his organization (Sigma Phi Epsilon) stood for, and he wouldn't tell me because of the oath he took. At the time I was a pledge and didn't understand the loyalty. However, even with me (his daughter) my father wouldn't tell me a thing. I can see why, now having been an initiated member of my own organization.
I don't know that my mother would tell me a lot about her organization because she probably doesn't remember much. She was only a part of it for a year or so (cuz then she got married and had me).
On a different note, the one thing us Greeks can do against these sites that defame our organizations is sue for slander. If the way the person reveals the information is slanderous it could be used against them in the court of law. I know all about this. Although the internet and website material is very touchy, it could still be found libel!
So there IS hope. It just may take some time. Remember, information can be shared (there is no doubt about that). But the way a person goes about sharing that information and the accusations they make can be considered libel (especially if it's being used to harm the reputation of one's organization).
