This, I have to agree with.
Back in the day, we had to pass a test before we could be initiated. Passing score was 100%. We had to know our colors and what they stood for (the meaning of the colors is revealed to NMs), flower, mascot, gem, open motto, philanthropy, where and when AEPhi was founded, the names of our seven founders (maiden names were acceptable), and the names of our then-current national officers. You could take the test as often as necessary until you passed.
For heaven's sake, how can you go through initiation and become a full-fledged member if you don't even know basic info about your own GLO?
