What GLO is the most known?

[Tom Earp]

While some keep mentioning Phi Beta Kappa, which started as the earliest known Greek named Society, they changed to an Honor Organization later.

If you now consider the current Social GLOs, I am sure a lot has to do with the region, ethnic background, and school one would be from or attend.

I became very familiar with the Male GLOs in starting a local Fraternity and which I would try to affiliate with. In the middle 60's, there was little expansion except by two. LXA and TKE were the majors and the Union Triad were the least for expansion as they are today.

Probably the best known Fraternity was SX because of the Song "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" and Chester Gould the penner of 'Dick Tracy" who would slip in something with SX in the cartoon that he did.

I am sure that African-Americans new little about Caucasion Fraternities as they were going to HBC and vice versa as the two ethnic groups rarely crossed paths untill now.

Actually is there a true answer, maybe not.

I honestly knew nothing about frats/sororities period...at least that I remember. My only experience was a sorority house (Alpha Phi) that I drove by on my way to highschool and I'd check the girls out that would be walking in/out/sunbathing, etc.

He said "until now" which means as of today. Get with the program, silly.

Nah, I think he was pointing to the obvious segregation of years past. There's still segregation but more social interaction than before.

I would just have to say that I think it is what part of the country you come from and whether your family is greek...

The first sorority I knew of by name was Alpha Xi Delta because that is where I am a legacy from a long lost half sister I didn't meet until I was 15 and she became a sister the next year at UCF. I didn't put I was a legacy because I don't feel I truly am.

The first fraternity I knew by name was Sigma Chi because my next door neighbor pledged right at the time I got interested in GLO's.

Then after I started asking around I learned I was an almost legacy to Delta Zeta's and my neighbors that I am really closed to were a Tri-Delta and a Zeta Tau Alpha.

After I started looking into it, I pretty much by sixteen could name ever sorority at every major university in Florida I wanted to attend.

Sorry, Tom, right idea, but wrong cartoonist. Milt Caniff, the creator of "Steve Canyon" would slip in aspects of Sigma Chi into his cartoons.

I also remember an episode of "Facts of Life". Blair is angry at her boyfriend. He tells Mrs. Garrett that Blair caught him dancing with the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.

"Until now" started when?
