I'm busted! Yikes, okay -- that will teach me to ask questions without double-checking!

I believe what happened was that in 1978, National organized the charitable scholarships (like the MLC for graduate study, etc.) into a group...that was actually the forerunner of the "Foundation."

More than you wanted to know?! :)

Way to go, Kathy -- good answer! Okay, I need a break! Someone else ask.

Heehee! Nutbrwn, you're allowed this mistake...after all, I don't think I have EVER met anyone who knows so many XO facts!!

Nor have I! :) I also should point out, just now as I was trying to find another question to ask (to give NutBrn a break!) I saw this on the timeline on the website:

"1977
Chi Omega Foundation established"

See, you DO know what you are talking about. The questions needed the word 'established' or 'founded' to make it not a trick question! ;)

OK, this is probably an easy one...
Where was the first alumnae chapter?
A. Lexington, KY
B. Memphis, TN
C. Fayetteville, AR
D. Dallas, TX

I am guessing "D." It's been awhile since I read our handbooks they handed out our pledge semester, so don't be suprised if my guess is off.....

Oh heck, I'll pick "C."
:)

Oh heck, you're right! Shocking!!!

Next question...anyone?

Patron Saint of Chi Omega Trivia...
 

Who serves Chi Omega as our first and only National Archivist (and knows more about Chi Omega facts, trivial or otherwise, than any person I know!)

a.) Jan Boyd Blackwell, Albuquerque, NM & former member of the Governing Council
b.) Jean Mermoud Mrasek, current S.K.A. (a position which includes overseeing the archives)
c.) Melanie Maxwell Shain, former S.H. and former Chapter Visitor who worked with Mary Love Collins
d.) Sally Stephens, Memphis, TN, staff member at the Executive Headquarters

Re: Patron Saint of Chi Omega Trivia...
 

I know this because she sent me a letter after I bought and turned in a badge from ebay!

Re: Patron Saint of Chi Omega Trivia...
 

Correct, xo_kathy! Jan is one cool lady! She has volunteered thousands of hours.

OK, Kathy...ask another question.

Another ?
 

Name the only Chi Omega chapter house which has a swimming pool?

a.) Eta Delta Chapter, University of Florida
b.) Iota Chapter, University of Texas
c.) Zeta Beta Chapter, University of Arizona
d.) Gamma Beta Chapter, UCLA

awww heck, i'll guess texas?:confused:

Re: Another ?
 

QT is right! Way to go.

Re: Another ?
 

Dang! I wish I was a member of their chapter ;)

Let's Learn About MLC
 

Which of the following statements about Mary Love Collins is correct:

a.) She smoked cigarettes with a long, slender cigarette holder
b.) She moved the mailbox at her house on Weebetook Ln. to the corner that touched Grandin Rd., since it was a more prestigious address for the Chi Omega HQ
c.) She was afraid of airplanes and refused to fly
d.) All of the above

OK so I am going to be the weirdo who says all of the above because that has never been an option before! This is what I do in accounting class and it works most of the time :)
