I would beg to differ. Anybody who knows anyone who went to a school with a Phi Beta Kappa chapter knows about it. My Sabbath School teacher couldn't form a sentence without saying, "my son, the Phi Beta Kappa...."!

JessSigKap is right - there is no one GLO that everyone's going to know! I've taken abuse for not knowing about KD before college ("What, you know the other Farmville Four but not KD? What's the matter with you?" Hello, I was 15 at the time!); I'm sure others had the same experience. Just as I had heard of Pi Beta Phi, DG & ZTA, but there were none on my street.
