Ready for another question?
 

The first Chi Omega Chapter chartered north of the Mason-Dixon line was:

a.) Beta
b.) Xi
c.) Phi
d.) Chi

I'll guess none of the above and go with Omicron Chapter, chartered in 1900.

No, I'm not that tricky! LOL The correct answer is either a, b, c or d.

I'll take Chi Omega Trivia for $500
 

Xi, Northwestern!

Xi was founded in 1901
Chi was founded in 1903
I don't know when Phi was chartered, though, but it was the chapter at USC.

Ahhhh, but here's the trick... (and if we've been paying attention to all posts in the Trivia thread...)

1899 Phi Chapter was chartered at Hellmuth Woman's College in London, Ontario, Canada. So, it was indeed north of the Mason Dixon line AND the U.S. Canada border.

In 1940, the name Phi was reissued to Univ. of Southern California (a practice no longer done.)

tricky, tricky....

Yes, very tricky! I was thinking the same thing as OL.

Firesides (Chi Omega's regional conferences held on even-numbered years) will be held in February 2005 instead of summer 2005. When was the last time Firesides were held in February?

a.) They've never been in February
b.) They've always been in February
c.) 1981
d.) 1941

I'm guessing C! I remember hearing something about them being in February "again" and I don't remember them being in February while I was active. I could have heard wrong, though.:)

OL is a winner
 

Yes, yes, yes...you are right! It was 1981 (or maybe 1983 -- I couldn't remember for sure) I know they had Firesides in Feb. '81 cuz I was there as a Personnel Chrm.

Which was the last (most recent) Chi Omega collegiate chapter closed because the college/university did away with the Greek System?

a.) Sigma Chapter, Randolph-Macon Woman's College (Virginia)
b.) Beta Chapter, Colby College (Maine)
c.) Nu Alpha Chapter, Stanford University (California)
d.) Gamma Alpha, Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania)

It's not C....A, maybe?

Or did something happen in the last week that I am utterly unaware of?

I guess B because Colby did away with its system in 1984.

Oh, oh, oh...how exciting -- we have an AOTT with a correct answer! Yeah! (Welcome to our forum, aopirose.)

Sorry, OL...Randolph-Macon did away with sororities in the '60s and Colby College was yes, in 1984.
