So, are you wanting partial credit, or what??!? :p

A 50% is better than a 0% :)

But I changed my mind and am going for the 100%!! It is Jean Vincenheller. . . 1 of 2 founders to be initiated, born on July 16, 1978 in Texas and buried in Arlington National Cemetery!!

Geez I'm so smart sometimes I scare myself!

Well, yes, the answer is Jean Vincenheller, but I must deduct points for listing her birthdate as 1978!

ok it was definitely 2 in the morning and I am an idiot. 1878 that's what I meant :) I am the best GM in the world :p wow, this is why I dont have NM meetings too late at night, I would totally confuse them!

I'm baaaaaaaack!
 

The official seal of Chi Omega, as seen on each chapter's charter, is:
a.) a likeness of the crest, as designed by founder, Ina May Boles
b.) a likeness of Demeter, drawn by Ina May Boles
c.) a likeness of Persephone, drawn by Christina Morton
d.) a profile of Dr. Charles Richardson, a founder of Chi Omega

Yay, you're back!

Unfortunately I do not know the answer though... I'm going to guess 'C'.

"Close" like in horseshoes
 

Excellent guess, but sadly...no, not C

B B B B B!!!!!!!

I knew this one without having to even look it up on the national site! (Well, I know it's a female figure on the seal and since Kelly helped me out by picking the other answer with a female in the seal....)

Yessssss, it is B

Which current (or former) members of the Governing Council first served the Fraternity as Chapter Visitors (a.k.a National Consultants)?

a.) Melanie Maxwell Shain
b.) Jean Mermoud Mrasek
c.) Shelley Eubanks Potter
d.) Patricia Plumlee Disque
e.) All of the Above

I would say e. I wasn't sure about Patty Disque, but since I'm positive about the others, it must be!

Yes, it's my favorite "all of the above" answer! Yes, Melanie, Shelley & Jean were all full-time chapter visitors after their respective graduations. Patty visited many chapters as a "part-time" chapter visitor (a position we no longer have).

Know Your Council Members
 

Which current national officer has a master's degree in English?

a.) Mary Ann Fruge'
b.) Jean Mrasek
c.) Susan Roberds
d.) Mary Evelyn White

http://www.chiomega.com/chiomega/ima...02%20group.gif

Mary Ann Fruge?

I'm guessing before I go on the website and look!

Wow, that was quick...YES! You get extra credit for a lightning fast answer!

The S.H. Badge
 

The badge which is mounted on the pin worn by the National President was first given to which S.H. as a gift by the collegiate chapters of Alabama.

a.) Elizabeth Orman
b.) Kirk Cocke
c.) Roselyn Dabbs
d.) None of the above

Whoo-hoo! I remembered reading that somewhere! :-)

I didn't even realize that I answered you only 1 minute after you posted!

Re: The S.H. Badge
 

3 days and no guesses? Sisters, are you trying to research this one?

Ok ok...I'll guess.... C

Re: The S.H. Badge
 

Hmmm...no, sorry...not C. (The badge is older than that.)
HINT: This former S.H. used to live in Huntsville, AL

Isn't it Kirk Bell Hassell? She was a sister from Nu Beta which is the chapter at the University of Alabama... I remember it from education because I am from bama although I am currently in the state with the most active Chi Omega chapters!!

Chi Omega sweethearts
 

I cannot begin to tell you-all how many Chi-Os I have known
who were pretty, scholarly, fun, good dancers, and great all-around girls.
From a great number of schools--everywhere.
Yep, Chi O is a super outfit!
But....you all know that.
Oh, I have an autographed, framed, picture of Mary Love Collins.
It proudly hangs in my den with my diplomas and brag plaques.
Neat. May you ever thrive!
Erik P Conard, old Teke

No, although Kirk had Bama ties...the answer was Elizabeth Orman -- a Theta Gamma (Queens College) initiate, but a resident of Huntsville, AL.

Re: Chi Omega sweethearts
 

Erik, thank you very much for the kind words. I'm envious of your signed pic of MLC, but very proud that it is in a place of honor among your treasures!

Next Chapter Turning 100
 

This spring, Iota Chapter at the University of Texas celebrated their Centennial. Which Chi Omega chapter is next in line to turn 100?

a.) Theta Chapter, West Virginia University
b.) Kappa Chapter, University of Nebraska
c.) Alpha Chapter, University of Washington
d.) Omega Chapter, UTopia

Well, according to how we name chapters, it should be:

A) Theta Chapter

But maybe NutBrn is throwing us a trick question....;)


ETA: I didn't even read D!!!! LOL

I'm going to agree with Kathy. And I think choice "D" is funny. :p

Re: Next Chapter Turning 100
 

Yes, yes, yes...Kathy is correct! (Me?? A trick question??!? Nevah!) Theta Chapter at WVU was founded in 1905 and they will be celebrating their Centennial April 8-10, 2005.

Myth Garden Statues @ HQ
 

In the beautiful Myth Garden, located at the Executive Headquarters in Memphis, TN, there are 3 statues. One is of an owl (see below). What are the other two?

a.) Jobelle Holcombe & Jean Vincenheller, founders of Chi Omega
b.) Mary Love Collins & Elizabeth Dyer, both National Presidents
c.) Persephone & Demeter
d.) Mary Ann Fruge', current National President & her brand new baby granddaughter, Rosemary Katherine!
http://shop.chiomega.com/Media/Catalog/cover99.jpg

Well, congrats to Mary Ann Fruge on her granddaughter (will this be a third generation Chi O or is this grandbaby from a son?)!

But I am going with C

I went to HQ in 1997, soon after is was built, so maybe the statues weren't there then, but I feel like I remember statues of the goddesses.....

Re: Myth Garden Statues @ HQ
 

P.S. MAF's daughter-in-law is a KD. :(

Re: Re: Myth Garden Statues @ HQ
 

Well, even if she isn't an "official" legacy, with Mary Ann Fruge as your grandmother, you will probably give Chi O a second look!!!! :)

I would hope so! It would be so cool to be a national president and have your grandchildren choose Chi Omega!

States with lots o Chi-Os
 

Dear Sisters...we have learned through our trivia thread that the state of Texas is home to the most collegiate chapters (13), but which states are currently tied for 2nd with 11?

a.) California & New York
b.) Alabama & Tennessee
c.) North Carolina & Ohio
d.) Vermont & Connecticut

http://www.chiomega.com/chiomega/abo...apters-map.gif

I'm going to guess B. I know we learned this but I cannot remember for sure.

(Are those red dots supposed to represent Chi O chapters?)

Nope, not B (and which state is the chapter where YOU joined Chi Omega, KellyB??) ;)

Yes, more or less...those red dots are active chapters.

Well shoot, I was going to guess 'C' but I didn't think NC had 11 chapters.

And heeeeeere they are...
