My sorority can tell me when I'm in letters (or even if I'm not, if I'm in a place where everyone knows I'm an AXD) not to talk about X or Y or Z. But it doesn't make sense to tell me "therefore, don't talk AT ALL in class, or at work, or in the school cafeteria, just to avoid talking about X and Y and Z."

But that is in essence what this ban is doing. It is saying in effect that you can't talk AT ALL online. I understand completely if KKG does not want their members to discuss their ritual, their favorite alcoholic drink, or how old they were when they "did it" online. It probably discourages that sort of talk offline as well. However, this also makes it impossible to tell someone what KKG's flower is, what its philanthropy is, or how sisterhood has benefitted them - topics it presumably encourages offline.

I assume KKG trusts its members enough not to say inappropriate things in the "real world," since as far as I know a vow of silence is not part of joining. What makes Internet speech so very different?
