The first version of Advantage was awful. It had NO history, just all touchy feely journaling garbage.

I don't think you should be required to learn all the other groups, but EVERY group should have a list of all the fraternities/sororities in their conference somewhere in their pledge materials and it should be pointed out by the pledge educator. I do think you should be required to learn all the groups on your campus, simply in the name of social interaction and Greek unity. This used to be a lot easier when you had to go out and ask them all for signatures. It's a little difficult now that the pledges are cloistered.
