Learn What You Can Now= Good Idea?

[JustThinking]

Point me in the right direction if it's been asked...

I plan to join the lovely BGLO of XYZ .
Of course, one should know the history, but I wanted to know if it would be acceptable for me to learn the chants, steps, etc. beforehand. I've seen a lot of the chants online, and confirmed their continued use with the chapter. I love to be a step ahead of what I can be.

I wonder, if I do, would I have to act as if I do not know them during MIP, and claim to be a fast learner, or should I bide my time.

Let me thank you for your lack of ignorance and rudeness in answering beforehand.
