In the case of the show I attended, the invitation message included a request to keep quiet about the show because the pledges didn't know it was happening.

I wish somebody would.

My people perish because of lack of knowledge.

And it was Beta Kappa Chi.

If it only makes as much sense as our perception will allow, wouldn't saying there is no difference only be your perception? J/k

Common sense probably wasn't explicitly listed as a requirement in the job description.

I've seen dumber as it pertains to Greek Life but a "secret" invitation message to nonmembers (I assume nonmembers) is just hilarious.

I find that Greek Life administrators dealing with unfamiliar territory (ex. NPC member overseeing LGLO activities or a non-Greek overseeing an NPC expansion process) seem more prone to blunders, especially when they are under a dictate to encourage diversity. They don't have anyone contextualizing a new experience for them in terms they understand.
