The way I see it is who cares. Just don't be the person to give out your org's secrets. People are going to find them out if they want to try hard enough. The less people that talk about them the harder it will be for them to collect. Even if people were trying to find out secrets to crash another org's meetings, there are ways to prevent that. For example, my chapter would never let a person into a meeting until we checked them out with IHQ first. We check their id's, get all personal info, including intiation date, and have IHQ compare it to see if they truely are a brother. I don't care if they know the ritual forwards and backwards, if IHQ can't confirm it then they are not getting in my chapter meeting. Just because a few non members might know my ritual doesn't change the meaning of it any less to me. I have no doubt there probably are a couple ritual books out there floating around. I have even seen a TKE one up on ebay at one time. All I can hope is that the true secrets parts that are left blank in the book were not filled in by a careless brother.
