No, it's not. It's not in any way a reaction to the perception of non-greeks or anyone else.
GLOs have had both exoteric information and esoteric information for ages. Maybe not in the very beginning for some of the early groups, as student orgs were verboten then. But certainly from the 1850s onward.
The exoteric info was put out there as an outward show of the aims of the group. This was to attract new members and to establish the character of the group on campus and in the community. The esoteric info was obviously the secret bond that tied the members together.
This isn't a new phenomena. If you see it on the group's website, it's exoteric info and fully intended to be there.
