(Giant generalization) The NPHC probably has less problems in that area because the majority of their prospective members have grown up with those groups as part of their community. They are seeing the good that gets done, so they figure if there are things that are kept secret, there must be a reason.

But I do agree, some of this depends on the individual. There seem to be people who confuse "living your ritual" with "disclosing your ritual."

Secrets allow you to hide beatings and hazing in a lot of cases too.
