b) Knowing where the National was formed
c) Knowing when the chapter at that school was formed
d) Knowing that the chapter had been rechartered at the school (after being inactive)
e) Knowing the names of all of the National founders I recognized (sort of knew/remembered) some of the founders, but doubt that I could name any of them during rush if I had been asked to do so.
f) Knowing the names of all of the Chapter founders (presuming it is not the first chapter)
g) Knowing the fact that the chapter had the best GPA in the greek system last year.
h) Knowing the National organization's special service project (like helping the deaf) I knew about Derby Days.
i) Knowing the symbols such as the flower...

Any stories about a rushee who knew "too much" or close to it?

I am a legacy and had helped my older biological brothers study for their pledge exams. As such, I knew some of the Fraternity history (bolded above) before walking into my first rush event. However, I knew nothing of the chapter history since it was a different chapter (campus) then where my brothers pledged.

And for the record, during the rush parties, I did not go around telling members that the White Rose is the flower of Sigma Chi.
