I have never told anyone what I was told either. I don't think there's anything wrong with admitting you've been told someone else's secrets...as long as you're not running around saying "Delta Omega Mu means Down with the Man!"

As for people spilling the beans, I don't really know how to explain it. Maybe they did lie. Maybe they just can't keep a secret. Maybe they didn't respect their GLO and just didn't care who knew. Maybe they were new and didn't realize they weren't supposed to share. Maybe they were caught up in the heat of the moment and were really excited about being an XYZ they shared it w/ someone who wasn't a member w/o even thinking. Maybe they were a disgruntled and possibly former member so they did it out of spite. I dont' know. All I know is that I would never, EVER tell anyone anything about Alpha Xi, and I hope that every one of my sisters feels the same way, but I'm sure that's not the case.

ETA: Isn't there a fraternity whose ritual meaning is open? Am I imagining that? If so, why would they have an open ritual like that?

ETA: I think there's a big difference b/w knowing the handshake and what the robes look like and knowing what the letters mean...but that's just me. But I agree with a previous poster - I haven't seen the ritual or learned all the other info, so it doesn't mean anything to me other than a phrase.
