New addition
 

What is the newest addition to the furnishings at the Chi Omega HQ in Memphis?

a.) an original oil painting by founder, Ina Mae Boles
b.) a new Xerox machine
c.) a sprinkler system for the Myth Garden
d.) a bust of Elvis

I'd like to guess B, just cuz.

It'd be way cooler if it was A, though

IT IS A!!!!
 

I can't keep this exciting news a secret any longer! A generous Arkansas couple have recently gifted this fabulous 1904 painting to the HQ. It's called A Tea Party and signed Ina Boles. (The picture does not do it justice!)

Does anyone have any new trivia questions? I'd try to think of some, but I think everything interesting I know has already been a question.

Oh, okay...here's one...
 

Allie Simonds, one of our founders, was not known as an artist, but she did illustrate a book written by Univ. of Arkansas professor Jerome McNeill entitled: REVISION OF THE TRUXALINAE OF NORTH AMERICA. What was the subject of her drawings?

c.) owls
d.) lobsters

I'm going with B - grasshoppers!

You are correct, Sister Kathy! (The book you saw on the website for sale was recently purchased and is on its way to the Chi Omega National Archives!)

I had a feeling that might happen...;)
