How much are you expected to know about your founders?

In light of a few recent threads I thought I'd throw this out...

I'm sure it's no secret that most GLOs require their new members/pledges/associate members/etc. to take a knowledge test covering things they've learned in new member education - when and where the GLO was founded, who the founders were, what the colors and symbols are, etc. But just how much are you expected to know about your founders? Maiden names, married names, middle names, ages, bra sizes, shoe sizes, ...? Also, same question for information on chapter founders and national officers.

We were required to learn all the founders' maiden names, but not married names. For national officers, we had to learn their current names (if they were married, we didn't have to also know their maiden names). We weren't quizzed on chapter founders because we were the chapter founders, but I don't think NMs in my chapter today are even quizzed on it. All this info is in the NM manual, though (as are the founders' bra sizes, which I could share, but then I'd have to kill you ).
