We did that too. I think everyone always missed a national council member or two (the title, not who was holding it at the time) no matter how many times you took the thing.

I look at this kind of the same way as I look at history courses in school - kids 40-50 years ago had to memorize dates almost like basic addition and subtraction facts, without understanding the "why" behind it. So everyone overreacted and said no more memorizing dates. Now we have a generation of kids who have no idea why 1066 or 1787 are important years. As with everything else in our society, the pendulum swings so damn far to the other side it causes whiplash. IMO sororities have hopped on the same train. I mean, we have FIVE founders - learning five names shouldn't be that much of a hardship.
