We lock the doors if possible and post notices on them, but there's no real door guard standing outside. I have no idea if other chapters do that.

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.

HEHEHEHEHHEE sooo been there too. We not only put a piece of paper to cover the little window, but to hide the fact that we were using candles in a union room !!!  hehe hehe hehe.
Also ...we once had a woman from another org. just BUST ON INTO our formal meeting once with one of those knocks that really just meant I'm knocking but I'm coming in on my own. I'm not knocking to wait for you to answer the door...

yeah we definitely put a person at the front door, someone guarding the entrance to the parking lot, and someone at the back door.

You really need this on your house though? I mean don't you have locks on doors? Do people just bust in at random times?

Only during initiation was someone outside watching the door. During meetings we need everyone present. I never really worried about someone walking in on pinning because we normally had it in classrooms that nobody would be using at night.

It may or may not be a tradition for some fraterntieis to do so. (guard the entrances)

Not when you have someone guarding the entrances.

No, but that's because we have guards. We have locks on the doors, however they're only combination locks, that is, you press a certain number on the door and it lets you in. You never know when some Pi Phi will come in to let us know about a fundraiser they're having. It's just for the best. We'd like to remain secretive.

It makes sense I guess. I'm just surprised that you have the same security issues at a house. Not that it shocks me that you give out the combination to girls or anything

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!
