Next Question!
 

The most National Consultants (heck, Chapter Visitors...what ever ya wanna call them) have hailed from which chapter?

a.) Psi (University of Arkanasas)
b.) Pi (University of Tennessee)
c.) Tau (Ole Miss)
d.) Phi Gamma (L.S.U.)

I am going to guess that the most are from the chapter at Ole Miss. . .

Mmmmm...good guess, my Psi Gamma friend, but no...not correct. Guess again, please.

D! That's my guess...Phi Gamma! But in most recent years I've noticed a TON of girls from the Kappa Chapter outta University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

Actually - side note -

Liz Connor, she was a NC from TCU, is now an advisor for my old chapter. As is Stacey (from Kappa). We're so LUCKY to have some great NC alum helping us out! They really know their stuff!

Nope!
 

Noooo...not Phi Gamma either.
Answer: It's Pi, University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

OK, not a true questions, more of a "help me remember"...

I thought I remember reading that when the founders were deciding on a name, they did so by cutting out all the greek letters and seeing which looked good together. I always thought that was a fun fact. Does anyone else remember hearing/seeing this?

Yes, xo_kathy, that is what it says in the new member manual! I am the assistant pledge trainer and that is the section the new girls learned last meeting! They thought it was funny that they did that but then agreed that the Chi and the Omega just look good together!

Whew! I'm not going crazy!!! :D

Want another question?????
 

In the year 2000, a $1 million dollar gift was made to the Chi Omega Foundation -- the largest single contribution ever received by the Foundation to date. Name the generous alumna who made the donation:

a.) Roselyn Threadgill Dabbs, Tau Chapter, former National President and President of the Chi Omega Foundation at that time.

b.) Nancy Walton Laurie, Psi Chapter, member of the Walton family of Wal-mart fame and owner of the St. Louis Blues hockey team.

c.) Christine Jack Toretti, Lambda Gamma, CEO of S.W. Jack Drilling and head of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania.

d.) Sela Ward, Nu Beta, Emmy Award winning actress and honorary chairman of Chi Omega's 1895 Society.

You know what, I'm gonna go for D; Sela Ward. Only because of her recent involvement in the Foundation and how she's been a visual image in our Eleusis for it!

Wow Hootie...it only took you 8 minutes to answer, but alas, Sela is incorrect.

I'm going to guess B:confused:

Re: Want another question?????
 

QT wins! QT wins! OK, who has another question?

Where was the second chapter of Chi Omega?
A: Nicholasville, Kentucky
B: Oxford, Mississippi
C: London, Ontario
D: Knoxville, Tennessee

i'm addicted!!!!!!!!!! takes me back to my new member period:D

Dang I know I should know...and I could look it up in my manual (but it's more fun to guess)....

I'm going with D...Tennessee

I think I know this one -- it's A. (Somewhere in KY) It's what, I think, is referred to as "old" Chi. "New" Chi at Transylvania just had their 100th anniversary earlier this month.

wooo hooo.....A is right! i'm not even so sure the school is around anymore. but anyhoo it was in nicholasville and now transylvania in lexington has the Chi chapter!!! who's got another one:D

Next Question:
 

How many Chi Omega Chapters have been chartered in Canada?

a.) 0
b.) 1
c.) 2
d.) 5

I think it's a - 0

Although I think it would be great to venture ito the great frozen tundra!!! :)

I vote zero as well-I feel like I would know if we had chapters in Canada. Although I may be wrong!

No Kathy, sorry -- but you're close!

Close Only Counts in Horseshoes!
 

Kathy & Otter -- wanna guess again?

I thought I remember hearing that there was 1 chapter chartered in Canada that closed. . .

After I posted I thought that maybe it was a little trick question...We maybe chartered but aren't still there...So I guess I'll have to go with Cardinal and say 1!

I didn't know we had a charter in Canada :confused:

I'll go with 1 chartered chapter in Canada!

None. I remember that we don't have any chapters outside of the US, unless they have recently been chartered.

I thought we had one chapter in Ontario (Hellmuth's Women's College ?) around 1900.

alrighty NutBrnHair. . . fill us in! We want to know if we are right!

it's 1..i just read about it, in Ontario. It was the third or fourth chapter to ever be chartered I believe:)

We Have a WINNER!
 

Ahhhh yes....young grasshopper(s) -- (as they said on the 1970s TV show "Kung Fu") -- you are correct!

CardinalSM is first with the correct answer, followed by xokathy, Hootie, chiownxo (with very accurate info.) and chioqt! Excellent work, my sisters.

Indeed, Phi Chapter was colonized 1899 at Hellmuth Woman's College, London, Ontario, Canada. It closed in June, 1900.

Next question?

Wow, it wasn't around too long, huh?

Re: Phi Chapter in Canada
 

Maybe some of our GC friends in Canada could tell us, but I don't think the school exists today and in fact, I believe the curriculum changed back in 1900 which made it no longer feasible to continue to have a chapter there.

New Question
 

Which U.S. state is home to the most Chi Omega alumnae?

a.) New York
b.) California
c.) Mississippi
d.) Texas

just a guess..


d) texas ?

Mississippi?

We Have a Winner!
 

Yes, the answer is TEXAS.

Re: We Have a Winner!
 

that would make sense because doesn't texas have the most chapters of any state?

Yes, I think Texas has 13 active chapters...followed closely by Ohio and North Carolina with 11 each. (I might be a tad off on those numbers -- anyone else know?)

Plus, everything is just bigger in Texas...don'tcha know?!?

Ready for another question?
 

Who wrote the lyrics of the song Chi Omega Yours Forever as a gift to their chapter?

a.) Six members of the Chi Beta (Purdue Univ.) graduating class of 1937.

b.) Ethel Switzer Howard and the other members of her pledge class from Xi (Northwestern Univ.) Chapter in 1904.

c.) Founders Jobelle Holcombe, Ina Mae Boles, Allie Simmonds & Jean Vincenheller for the first National Convention in 1900.
