Privacy of Pledge Manuals?

[naraht]

When I joined Alpha Phi Omega in 1986, I would run into brothers who were *horrified* that other chapters would have the National Pledge Manual out on the table during Rush and Student Activities fairs. What I found out later was that the National Office really didn't consider it private, and would even send it out as part of the packet that was sent to University Administrators if there was any interest at the school at all.

Since the coming of the Internet, it is fairly clear that it is public. While it (and the rest of the publications) aren't in the tree of selections that come up for a guest to our national site, entering "Pledge Manual" in the search gives the pdf as the first hit.

So, how private does your fraternity or sorority keep your pledge manual (or the equivalent)?
