And yes, I was referring to the NPHC.
Thank you for the links.

I can't speak for my NPC sisters, but I learned and memorized them during my Fraternity Education program.
Remembering them is no different from knowing the alphabet.

my experience is that these days not everyone (collegians) even know there are 26 groups, much less what they all are.

I learned there were 26 but I never learned all of their names. I could probably have come up with 15 of them in undergrad and all 26 now (with a bit of thought) that I've been on GC.

I learned all 26 before I joined ADPi because of GC.

Haha, ditto that! It didn't hurt having 20 of them on campus, either, I suppose.

I'm an NPC geek - I know all 26, their colors and their symbols. Same for the NPHC groups. I know quite a few founding campus names, too.

Same here. If I thought about it now and wrote them down I think I could do all 26 but it wasn't in my new member education. OTOH, I rocked the hell out of my new member education test before initiation scoring a 99.5. Damn you omicron! The one missing letter!

Haha, I might have missed one question on that test, but it wasn't a Greek Letter. Funny that you remember it was Omicron

It was definitely not in our new member education - one of my best friends who was president of our chapter got into a fight with a KD over whether KD was a NPC sorority or not.

You're kidding! 
I know they've since done a new NME handbook/workbook, but in the one I had (the mid-late 90s version), an entire page was dedicated to the 26 NPC sororities, complete with illustrations of the badges, founding dates/campus, official flower/jewel -- you know, the quick facts.

I had to know all 26 during my education experience into SK but I know not every group does this. I actually met a very nice woman recently at work who is a member of an NPC GLO. When we started talking about the GLO's at our respective alma maters, she had not heard of some of the one's I mentioned. I was frankly stunned b/c there are very well known & respected GLO's yet she did not have a clue who they were OR that there are 26 NPC GLO's.
Can you imagine the look on my face when she actually asked me who XYZ and ABC were?
