In the days of no hazing, you probably can't require them to know any, but your thinking is similar to my experience. Knowing so many sisters at my ripe old age I can name several chapters by letter now, but while in college I could name Alpha, Beta, Sigma, and only one more, where I had good friends.

Our big thing would probably be to know the four chapters that constituted our reorganization in 1914 - Alpha (Longwood) Alpha Alpha (Miami-Ohio) Alpha Beta (Truman State) and Alpha Gamma (Indiana U of PA). No other chapters are allowed to begin with Alpha, and Longwood is our only single letter chapter.
If it wouldn't have been for these ladies, we would have been toast.

Other than Alpha at Barnard, I think we all know that Pi at Tulane was our second chapter. We're taught that Nu was our third and was started at NYU Law School when one of our founders was enrolled there (whether they "know" this for initiation or not is debatable, it is in the NM materials.) Our first International chapter is also included in those learning materials (Beta Tau at Univ of Toronto) but I doubt anyone memorized that...I don't know the chapter off the top off my head, and I know more chapter designations than the average AOII. Probably the only other chapter that they might know would be Omicron at Univ of Tennessee, our fourth chapter and oldest surviving chapter. I haven't seen our NM test since we Went back to regions. They may have to know their regional chapters now. Paging, AOIIalum!

Our gorgeous shiny brand new NME book includes Alpha and Pi chapters. It also refers to Sigma (Berkeley, 1st AOII chapter house), Beta Tau, and has a page on NPC too (Yes, I'm thrilled about that one!) If any alumna AOIIs want to know more about The Promise, please PM me, as I figure our collegiate AOII GCers will hear about it in chapter.

That is not true.
***************
Many Delta chapters expect women to know single letter chapters and chapters in their city and surrounding areas.
Also of importance is having a familiarity with chapters in your region and chapters with particularly rich histories that would be covered in Delta history books. Familiarity does not mean memorization but to not be clueless.

We were to learn the ones in our District, as those were the chapters with which we were most likely to associate. We also answered our roll call with the name of a chapter, so everyone tended to know at least a few of those.
Lucky was the sister who had "Alpha Delta, Colby College, Waterville, Maine." Everyone joined the chorus on that one!
So, we had to know six, but ended up knowing more like 56.

Ditto to this. We also learned our Alpha chapter. It was nice because we're especially close to two other AXS colleges (we visit fairly often).

Yep. I think many GLOs have an exam that has to be passed before initiation. I know we do, and you have to answer all questions correctly.
It's been a while since I've looked at the exam, but I think it includes the first 3-5 chapters, and I know it also incudes all chapters in the probationary member's province.
