Yeah scroll numbers are cumulative for many IFC/NPC orgs. My own roll number is is 2063, so 2062 men were initiated before me in my chapter.
Roll numbers are assigned a variety of ways, for most chapters I know, the pledge program has a system of points, based on things like GPA, scores on lore tests, community service hours, intramurals, etc. The pledges/new members who accumulate the most points during the course of their pledge program are initiated first (have lower numbers).
I think it's awesome that there is such a great connection between members of different organizations based on where they were in line.
