What GLO is the most known?

Let's not forget Elle Woods' sorority: DN

There was a book called "Let's Go Play at the Adams" or something like that, which I read just prior to college, and the babysitter was a Kappa Kappa Gamma. It was a horrifying book, BTW.

I also think it's how you grew up. On the street where I grew up, literally everyone who went to college was in a GLO, and strangely, no two people were in the same one. I had heard of (going down the street) KKG, ATO, ASA, TriDelta, Delta Phi, Phi Kappa Theta, ChiO, DTD, Delta Sigma Phi, AXO, KAT, Sigma Chi, Chi Phi, SAE, Theta Chi, TriSigma, Beta Theta Pi, LXA, TKE, APhi, AXD, KA, (and one ADPi!). Pretty awesome, when you consider that there are only 14 houses on the street!

But I agree, Phi Beta Kappa is THE best known, bar none.

I'm leaning more towards Delta House just because of one of the greatest movies of all time. Of course I am more have more of a personal bias for the popularity of Alpha Phi Alpha and Phi Beta Kappa, but only did the brothers of Delta Tau Chi teach me the about true meaning of brotherhood...at the age of 12 one night. Delta Tau Chi is not the most important, but I didn't have a clue what Phi Beta Kappa was until I actually did research about greek life. That org never came up amongst my friends or anything.

I read that book...I think I heard about it from the "disturbing books" thread. I vaguely remember the babysitter being a KKG, but yeah, that book was very disturbing.

Where I grew up and in my youth group especially, if you wanted to go Greek, your choices were only AEPhi or SDT. AEPi or ZBT if you're a guy. Myself and one other friend from my youth group one year went against that mold, and 5 years later, the rabbis and the advisors are all still talking about it.
