LXA Duke Fled started it
This LXA exec dir spread the word on no taxes to other GLOs in the late 50s early 60s, and several joined LXA on Washington Blvd.
In the 70s the insurance company then called College Life Ins. or something like that developed some rural land way out in NW Indy, and one of the main streets was Founders Rd. They marketed this to the GLOs, and a bunch, including TKE, DU, and others, built places there. The insurance co. was headquartered in three pyramid-shaped towers.
When I visited there two years ago, the area is now almost fully developed, with a lot of non-GLO office building and all the fast-food and mid-level restaurants (Chilis, Max and Erma {my fav}, etc.) were clustered around the interchange with Indy's perimeter interstate.
