A, B, C, E, G, H & I are in the recruitment booklet (given out to PNMs), on our chapter site or HQ website. So it wouldn't surprise me if a PNM knew that info. Honestly, when I went through COB, I knew all of those.

I'm fairly sure that D & F are only found in the Tri Sigma history book or on our charters, so that info isn't readily available to PNMs. So if a PNM knew that (and wasn't a legacy to our chapter), I would be a little surprised.

Knowing this stuff doesn't weird me out. It's when a PNM comes through spouting off facts and acting like a "know-it-all" that it becomes weird.

It's great that a PNM would take the time to learn about the sorority. But when all you do is talk about what you know about us, it tells us NOTHING about you as a person.
