And the odd thing is, you can go to one Notre Dame and never really run into the other one. Well, at least I think you can go to the first and not really run into the second. The second is aware of the first, I'd say. So that's what I mean.

As for ND, I understand what you mean, but I'd even argue for existence of a third and possibly fourth ND that barely overlaps with the first two you mentioned, but which go unrecognized due to the size of said groups.
Still, large enough and organized enough to be considered a "Notre Dame within a Notre Dame" in their own rights, given the peculiarity of their existence at a place like a mid-size Catholic univeristy with a reputation for dominance national athletics.
However, I am familiar with the two Notre Dames of which you speak.
