I don't know about other orders, but Jesuits tend to have pretty strong ties between schools. I know Marquette and Creighton have shared staff, and the president of Creighton sits on Marquette's board of directors. It's true that most fans have no idea what order each school belongs to, and I doubt they would care either way.
