The survey has a lot of questions that all depend on how the greek life is on certain campuses. I knew all of my sisters pretty well, but we had a small greek community. I have friends who were in large chapters and didnt know ALL of their sisters as well as I knew all of mine - but thats just our campuses, nothing to do with the organization. The questions also dont leave room for MANY reasons why people join a sorority - yes I joined because my friends are in the organization, but there were other reasons that I joined that werent listed in the survey.
Yes I think a member needs to remember where they were founded etc... Its not something hard to remember. Do I think they need to remember the 45 founders of their chapter? No. Its not really THAT important, especially long after graduation. Do you need to know/remember that the president who was there when you were initiated's favorite color is pink? No. But your founding information is important to your organization. I also think that yea, knowing that my sorority was founded in 1913 is important, but also knowing the ideals we were founded on and knowing the reasons why our founders didnt just join one of the many organizations available to them - that is the real reasons for our sorority becoming our sorority. Dates and locations, secondary to the WHYs...
Oh and the survey was geared toward ACTIVE members and not ALUMNAE. You should specify that in your post.
Eh just my two cents, ALSO can you tell Im BORED? Our school system is on spring break.
