My only response to this is that knowing greek trivia has its place, but it's not the most important part of NM education. I think others can make the point that learning the greek alphabet is important without making it seem like it has more importance than it does or getting angry about it. I personally agree that you should be aware of the greek system and its members. Does all of that have to be done during the NM period? No...that's why we have member education throughout the four years.
