You know, looking back, I wish we got tested on Founders (and other pertinent history) information AFTER we were initiated -- not just taking the NM Test.

For the NM test we needed to know all 11 Founders' First, Sometimes Middle, Maiden, and Married Name (if any). The information we learned about them came straight from the NM Manual, and usually it was what they were most remembered for: First Grand President, first Alpha Gam Baby, missionary, "First Founder", expert in heraldry, pianist/songwriter, etc.

It wasn't until Maria's daily AGD FunFact thread (and early issues of the Quarterly ) that we started learning lesser known facts about our Founders and early history.
