I'll say A. |
Correct you are, CutieHootie!
MLC & Elizabeth Dyer were both special initiates of Delta Chapter, Dickinson College. As a graduate of Dickinson, Mary Love was instrumental in the formation of Delta Chapter and was initiated as an alumna member. Elizabeth was initiated by "special dispensation" as a member in 1922. |
Why don't you ask the next question, Cutie Hootie?!

Quote:
Our Archivist, Lyn Harris, and our Archivist Emeritus, Jan Blackwell, have each been presented with a very special badge. What is so special about these badges? A. They are a replica of the first Chi Omega badge made by Dr. Charles Richardson. B. They have alternating pearls and diamonds. C. They are mounted on a golden Seal of Chi Omega. D. They have rubies instead of pearls or diamonds. Bonus points if you can explain WHY this was done. :) |

We had an old badge in the archives that had rubies instead of pearls. It belonged to a "notable" alumna - Mary Love I think, or perhaps Ida Pace Purdue? Unfortunately, it was stolen some time ago and never recovered. So when trying to find the perfect badge to present to Jan upon her retirement, they decided a replica of the one lost would be perfect. Though I have to say I didn't know Lyn had the same one... |

You are correct!!! I saw Lyn receive hers at Firesides this year--it is absolutely beautiful!! Both badges are mounted on gold disks with the engraving "Archivist" and "Archivist Emeritus". And you were correct, it was Ida Pace Purdue's badge that had the rubies originally. According to what I learned at Firesides and Convention, the Supreme Governing Council gave special dispensation for these unique badges to be created (which I think is pretty cool!).:) |
Here's another question (I'm starting to like asking these...it's the History teacher in me coming out!!):
Which of the following chapters did not celebrate their 20th Anniversary this year? A. Upsilon Lambda B. Pi Lambda C. Sigma Lambda D. Phi Lambda :) |
Allright then...Cutie Hootie with a not-so-easy question! (Good for you!)
The answer is: B.) Pi Lambda, Centre College (chartered in 1988) |

Since our founding in 1895, which year saw the addition of nine (9) Chi Omega chapters -- the most in our history?
a.) 1900 b.) 1919 c.) 1928 d.) 1957 |

I guessed that answer before checking my answer... and interesting enough my NM manual (from 03) only has 7 listed... odd isn't it. Although the list I have is only ACTIVE chapters...that could be why? But all of the other years only have 1-3 chapters opening... :) |

Delta Alpha, UT-Chattanooga Zeta Alpha, The Ohio State Univ. Beta Alpha, UPenn Psi Beta, Univ. of Iowa Chi Beta, Purdue Epsilon Alpha, Univ. of Oklahoma Phi Beta, Univ. of Pittsburgh The two additional chapters you didn't see listed were at Swarthmore College (PA) and Hollins College (VA) which both did away with their Greek Systems in later years. |
What was the cost of a subscription to The Eleusis 100 years ago in 1907?
a.) $1.00/year b.) no cost c.) $18.95/year d.) Dr. Richardson paid for every Chi Omega to receive a copy |
