Maybe it's just because I'm Chaplin of my chapter and in charge of all ritual, but I would be royally pissed if any of my stuff got out in public. My chapter keeps all of that stuff extremely hush-hush. When I was initiated and I opened my eyes, let me tell you I was not expecting anything of the sort! I have only one bag of ritual stuff in my apartment because the rest stays at our house, but my boyfriend knows not to go near that bag for any reason because he understands how sacred it is to me. He is also very careful to not reveal any of his ritual to me.

I wouldn't want any sort of ritual dress out in the public eye because I think that cheapens the secret and the surprise of initiation. I understand that some things are mass-produced and that SOMEONE had to see them, but at least our stuff isn't up on the internet for sale.
