She's a nicer person than I am. :D

No she's Panhellenic and doesn't like to shove stuff in people's faces.

She doesn't attach significance to dumb things that don't even matter either.

I think a much better measure of who has the smartest women in the NPC would be to list the total number of Phi Beta Kappa women by sorority through the years weighted by total membership in each sorority. Can you tell I am taking a statistics class? :D

Miss NutBrnHair, I am very happy to report that you are nothing like the wonderful, kind and humble Chi Omegas I know. You might be able to get some lessons from them. Bragging about not being nice is a very ugly thing.

A brief explanation of Phi Omega Pi. I'd love to see that pin - even if they didn't rate a single Who's Who!

I think it would be interesting to know if Who's Who (or this particular Who's Who since there's probably a Who's Who of underwater basket weavers) was an actual honor at that time or if it was a pay to play thing like it is now. I've never heard of one "in the modern era" as it were, that meant anything at all. BUT, the Who's Who people might have been very selective once, and sold out for the Benjamins. Because god knows that's never happened before. Or stated another way, the copy of the contents page means about squat to me. If there's more to share, it might be interesting. Who were these people? Were there any famous, infamous or important people that we might be surprised to know are affiliated with us? If it's just for Yeah! Alpha Xi Delta had 33 unnamed Who's Who rich girls who could afford to pay in 1941, then whatev.

Even when a post is intended to shine a positive light on your GLO, and might even be viewed by some as a "shameless plug", history is history.

Perhaps this is coming from someone who enjoys learning about GLOs' history, but throw at me all the great “stuff” your GLO does, has done, and will do. I enjoy reading it. And I would hope members are proud of their GLO and would share their organization’s historical accomplishments with us - especially in the History forum.

Even though Sigma Chi was near the bottom of the fraternities :o, I enjoyed the historical information that was provided. This was simply a “snap shot” in time of fraternity and sorority history.

Maybe they were all off to war.

That's it. :D

The White Cross that we wear is an emblem of sacrifice, and the virtues displayed through one’s service to country brings honor to name of Sigma Chi."

Gamma Phi.
I'll help you be Gamma Phi . . .

Thanks, AZTheta! Hope your weekend is great, too!

OMG! is that a recruitment song? It SHOULD be. *jealous*

Then again, could tweak it... no. On second thought, no. It can only be Gamma Phi. Back to *jealous*.

Off to quilt class! Need to bump that thread and post some of my projects, eh? Later!!!!!

My guess is that this list contained every NPC group (at the time) and only some of the NIC groups?

Looks like Phi Omega Pi was absorbed by Delta Zeta later in the 1940s.

Lovely pin!

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the date -- the beginning of WWII for the U.S.
