We had an old badge in the archives that had rubies instead of pearls. It belonged to a "notable" alumna - Mary Love I think, or perhaps Ida Pace Purdue? Unfortunately, it was stolen some time ago and never recovered. So when trying to find the perfect badge to present to Jan upon her retirement, they decided a replica of the one lost would be perfect.

Though I have to say I didn't know Lyn had the same one...

a.) it means "publication" in Greek
b.) it is Latin for "book"
c.) it is a city in Greece named in honor of the son of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, hence the name of Chi Omega's messenger
d.) it was Dr. Charles E. Richardson's middle name

Nope, surprisingly not. (The rendering DOES look quite a bit like the HQ, but this drawing wasn't discovered until after the plans for the Memphis building were drawn up in 1992.)

Another quess?

Yep!!! Founders' Hall was never built, due to a lack of funds; however, the Greek Theatre was later constructed on the campus.

It is freaky how similar the drawing is to the front of our HQ in Memphis, isn't it?
