How much discretion is advised?

I'm supposed to receive a letter in the mail in a few days. Do they typically put the name of the sorority on the outside of the envelope? I have roommates who are at home more often than I am that check the mail and I'm not exactly buddy-buddy with any of them.

My biggest fear is that they will tell their friends. Should I be a bit worried and start stalking the mailman?

I'm not sure where in this process does the cat come out of the bag. I'm not trying to be weird here =/.

I think the OP is in the process of NPHC intake.

Once again I am amazed at VioletPretty's knowledge of GLOs. I have no knowledge of NPHC intake .... or many other thinks that violet seems to know about... I have so much more to learn.....

OP, sorry I don't have any advice for this specific situation, I'd probably bake cookies for the mailman and also give him an envelope addresses to myself for them to put other letter in to.... Or rush home from work daily. Good luck!

Disclaimer: I know nothing about this particular letter business.

However, I would assume that if this is still a stage in which you are expected to be discreet, that the sorority would be discreet as well when notifying you.

yeah, it wouldn't make much sense if YOU'RE supposed to keep it a secret if they send a letter with AKA or SGP letters emblazoned on it.
