Good post on this subject by honeychile, from another thread:

In a word, EDUCATION. In the push to shorten pledge/new member periods, a lot of NPC lore has been lost. I know that our initiation test had two parts, a local and national section, and we were expected to know every GLO on our campus and a good percentage of ones that weren't. You can't miss something that you don't know exists.
I would advise all pledge moms/new member moms or whatever the PC name is today, to at least give a list of ALL of the GLO sororities and fraternities to the new members. That way, when they visit another campus or Greekchat or whatever, they won't come off as a ditz.

We had all this in our manual also and believe me I have used it more than once while on GC! (Especially for colors and jewels and such) I think it's still included in our new membership program, but it's on a CD-rom instead of a handy dandy manual.
I'm not saying you should have to memorize the names of every GLO - but seeing as NPC is our "extended family" you should at least be familiar with who your "cousins" are.
