How many initial chapters should pledges know?

[KSUViolet06]

Within my collegiate chapter, when I was a NM (back in 2004) we learned about Alpha (Longwood), our own chapter (Alpha Beta), and the other chapter in Ohio (Eta Iota.) Since we are the only NPC with 2 chapters in Alaska, we learned about those too (Eta Zeta and Zeta Mu.)

I'll confess to being a total nerd as a NM, going on Greekpages (remember that site?) and looking at the websites from other chapters. I learned a lot about other chapters that way and knew the chapter designations for at least half of our chapters if not more.

I'm going to brag a little bit. You learn a lot about different chapters when you are a volunteer. Since I've been volunteering for about 3 years now, I'm pretty sure I have 90% of our collegiate chapter's designations memorized. If you give me a school, I can give you the chapter.

/nerd alert.

Same here. Since I serve on the Directory Committee for SAI, I review directories for all the chapters in my region and send them letter.
