They learned the Greek alphabet when they were pledges but she couldn't tell it to you now. I've seen her pledge book. They had a page (like in my NM manual) that showed all the NPC badges/pins and a second page where they listed the groups on their campus with their local history. Meh. Being ignorant of the NPC is irrespective of pledge/NM. It's willful ignorance. You have the information, you just choose not to learn it.

Perhaps, but when we pledged for a semester rather than 6 weeks, sometimes you learned that extra stuff because the pledge educator needed stuff to fill in the time. That doesn't mean necessarily that the pledges paid attention or retained it. I remember going over that page and writing down the names of all the people that I knew who had pledged each one.
That being said, I agree with Sen and DrPhil. There is never a need to be rude just because you are unfamiliar with a group.
