Fraternity History thread
I'm a copycat, so in response to the sorority quiz that was posted last week, I made a quiz about early fraternity history (it's my first quiz, so give me a break if it sucks). Take a look at it at
http://www.funtrivia.com/quizdetails.cfm?id=125450
and post your results!

Dude, that kicked my ass.
I guess i need to get my hands on one of those Greek Anthologies. What are they called? Baird's Almanac or something?

Good quiz... there were a couple of ballbusters in there.
Kitso... the book you're looking for is Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities. I think the latest edition is the 20th edition. Dunno if Amazon.com carries it, and it's not a cheap book; runs about $50. But is is a very thoroughly researched book about GLOs.

Great idea, docetboy.
I got 8 out of 10, and I was going to cheat on the 2 I didn't know (number of groups founded by 1860, and the year the NIC was founded) but I left my Baird's at home today.

Fun quiz, docetboy. I got 6 out of 10. I have books handy that would have had the remaining 4 answers, but I was trying to do it closed-book.

I got 3/10. Most of those questions I knew nothing about. You learn something new everyday.

If anyone is wondering, the questions were taken directly out of the Kappa Sig pledge manual, Bononia Docet. (So KSig600 - i'm dissapointed in your score!)

Believe the cost is about $60 from the Baird's Foundation. Someone has their address/contact info on the web. Can also be ordered from the North-American Interfraternity Council.
Don't know how accurate it is. Someone said that for my fraternity, their list of our chapters was incorrect. And that is something that can easily be verify with my fraternity using its website.
Hope this helps

I thought those questions looked familiar.
I got 8 out of 10...thought I should have done better though.

6/10 with no help from printed or other material. Honestly, I thought I would do a little better. Show's what I know.

I know, I know....In my defense...Its been 3 years since my pledgeship, and almost a year since I helped my little study his Docet. My chapter doesn't center our new member quizes over the "history of fratenal orgs." They are more centered around chapter history, and national/international history. Our NME only uses the sample questions in the book as a suggestion.
...I remembered SOME stuff...damn old age
