Really? Quatrefoil-shaped graves?! I hope the grave diggers were paid extra, 'cause that would be one hell of a hole to dig.



Sorry. I couldn't resist. :p

Haha, I see. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, it would be terribly hard to dig quatrefoil-shaped graves. Anyone who can do that deserves a raise! ;)

Yes, Chi Omega knows where all 5 Founders are buried and each one has "Founder of Chi Omega" on the stone, if it was possible to do so.

Founder, Jean Vincenheller Dengler is buried in Arlington Cemetery and the military did not allow her stone to include this designation.

Now it seems like they do. I remember being at Arlington and one fella's grave had the Kappa Alpha Psi letters on his stone

I only found one of Sigma Kappa's five founders on a quick google for headstones. Here is Mary Low Carver's gravesite (on the left, top and bottom):

Flowers were placed at the grave of Frances E. Haven Moss, in honor of Founders Day 2013 and the centennial of Omicron Chapter at the University of Illinois. Frances is also considered a founder of Omicron chapter (her husband was a professor at Illinois).
