Don't choke on yourself.

I think it also depends on where you live and how prominent the GLO is in that area. Before coming to college, I always heard about TriDelta, ZTA and DG. For the fraternities, I always heard about SigEp, KA (because my uncle was one at Furman and would always talk about his "glory days"), SAE and Pike.

I dont think you can get a true answer on a subject like this. Most of the GLO's being named, I never heard of before GC. It depends on where you from... In MY world, I would probably go with Omega Psi Phi (I am bias though ), but, if I had to pick one outside that, I would say Phi Beta Kappa.

People "across the country" overwhelmingly don't know and/or care about the names of specific GLOs. That's accounting for folks of various life experiences, races, and social classes.

But if I HAD to choose, I'd say whatever that fictional fraternity from Animal House or Tri Delt because of the "Delta Delta Delta--can I help ya, help ya help ya" jokes of the 90s.

As has been said many times in above post, out side of each others little area, many were not known. Well untill GC for sure.

But, since then, I am much more familiar with many more than the few at my two colleges.

One of the greateast sites has been produced and worked on very hard by one of our own GC Members:

Check it out and see what is there!

There's no easy answer. We are forgetting that by "most well known" we mean the general (read: non-Greek) population, not the biggest or most prestigious NIC, NPC, or D9 GLO. What we Greeks perceive as the "most well known" is going to depend on our region of the country, gender, race, religion, GLOs at our school, and Greek friends and family.

Oh--they are NOW an honor society. I hear their name often but didn't think "honor society" when I read the thread topic. Sure, PBK is well known but many people just throw the name around as a sign of prestige (i.e. "she's Phi Beta Kappa") without really knowing what the hell they're talking about.

(Like the people who saw my Crimson and Cream symbols on my car after I crossed and asked if I was a "Que Dog" or a Kappa.)

LOL... Just in Christmas someone asked me what Fraternity I was in...
What I hate is when they say, "oh, you're one of those (do the wrong call)" i just say, um, no!
