I am curious to know if the history of Greek organizations before APhiA or AKA is taught to members of BGLOs, or if their history starts in 1906.

As for my own pondering, why would they be concerned with the history of Phi Beta Kappa? If one was interested in the origins of Greek Lettered Organizations period, why of course this would be important information, but why would this history be relevant to that specifically of BGLOs? Isn't Phi Beta Kappa an academic organization? Yes, the oldest of Greek Lettered Orgs, but really has no hmmm what's the word, relevance to that of Black Greek Lettered Organizations. Are you implying that BGLOs are stealing from GLOs by being Greek Lettered without adding an appendage citing Phi Beta Kappa?
