One of the jokes in my fraternity was how many of the older brothers promptly forgot the Greek alphabet as soon as they were initiated. I, of course, did not and was also a font of other fraternity trivia because that's just what my brain DOES. This made me very popular whenever we played fraternity games (to teach the new folks our history) and served no other useful purpose.
That trick came in handy when a boyfriend took me to his parents' charismatic church one time. The mother dragged me up to the front and all the female parishoners surrounded me, trying to get me to speak in tongues. I recited the Greek alphabet, they left me alone, and I broke up with that boyfriend shortly thereafter.
