I grew up in an extended family full of DEKES among the men and Thetas, Pi Phis, Kappas, and DZs among the ladies. My Grand Dad is Phi Beta Kappa as is my Uncle and my cousin Jeremy. So, from a very early age I was familiar with a number of Greek letter organizations. I would have to agree that Phi Beta Kappa is probably the most widely known nationally. Among social greek organizations I think it varies regionally. I rather doubt that any one social greek org could really claim to be the most widely known on a nation-wide basis. I wonder if being best known is relevant? I wonder if size of organization is relevant? There are lots of SAEs and they are generally good solid guys, there are very few ADGs and they likewise are generally good solid guys. Some orgs have reputations for being good dependable guys who party hearty but stay reasonable, and some are known primarily as hell raisers who would consider the mythical Delta Tau Chi as being tame and lame. I suppose it is really more about what you are known for rather than how well you are known.
