Think about it, their JOB is to protect the person they are guarding.

I agree with you, and I actually think that SS would probably still monitor their protectee even if they were standing outside her sorority chapter room while ritual was being conducted. Not to like, glean the inner workings of Theta but because they care way more about the president's daughter than they do about her sorority.

I know people said that SS were forced to stand outside, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the agents put the chapter room under surveillance via hidden video camera or audio monitoring or something. My best guess is that the secret service is watching their charges in all sorts of ways all the time, even if they or their friends are not aware of it.

I have a vague inclination that the secretive and sacred nature of sorority ritual means squat to the United States secret service.

The secret service (protective division) while small is large enough that it's likely an agent who happens to be in the sorority was likely put on the detail.

To my knowledge, this would be the best explanation.

I think you could incorporate the Secret Service into the ritual. They would make good candle holders, etc. cuz they are used to standing so still. They wouldn't get wax on the carpet!

I know and used to see Jenna Bush all the time when she was still at Texas....you never really noticed the SS. Same with Pierce Bush.....who is down here now. They have agents down here but you really don't notice they are there. As far as I know, the SS never really went into the Theta house.

Considering that one of the Bush daughters got her purse stolen at an airport in some South American country, I don't think Theta would have to be worried about the SS paying attention during Ritual.

I was just thinking this same thing.

They probably had a way to secure the house without going inside. In my extremely limited experience, they are pretty invested in trying to give the kids as normal a college experience as possible. But if they thought it was necessary to be in the room during ritual, that's where they would go, come hell or high water. Given that their colleagues may be in the room when classified national security matters are being discussed, I don't think that they would view sorority secrets as particularly sensitive information. No disrespect to Theta, but ritual is pretty small potatoes in the context of, say, nuclear launch codes.

Not noticing the Secret Service is supposed to be considered a plus.

Yeah it is. Its even better when you are with them in a situation where you would otherwise probobly get into trouble......then the SS steps in and handles it all for you. Happened on 6th street on more than one occasion.
