While there wasn't anything official at UK that I know of, getting approval and some sort of "inside help" - usually from the chapter president or social chair - was the norm "way back when".
Often, it was the sorority's House Mother who would be in on it and the one to help out. I recall that one time, a chapter's composite was "borrowed" and it was hidden in the House Mother's room/apartment until it could be sneaked out.
In any case, the idea was that you would leave some sort of clue - maybe a beverage holder with your letters on it near by, or a note with a clue - and the sorority chapter would then come to your house and serenade you to get it back. Usually, the women would be invited in for an "impromptu" mixer. Then with a lot of pomp and ceremony, the composite would be returned.
