No. I started it a while ago and it got moved down the list...then it was "born" again. I'm sure that before long though, everything will be covered :)

Nope, not D...try again.

xok85xo 01-06-2004 12:03 PM

A?

NutBrnHair 01-06-2004 12:11 PM

Shucks, no...not A either. (Jean Mrasek was a Sigma Chi Sweetheart at Univ. of Tulsa in the early 1980s though)

The answer is B, Jenna Ward (Sela's little sister!)

Which coach's daughter is a Chi Omega?

a.) Barry Switzer, former Univ. of Oklahoma & Dallas Cowboys football coach
b.) Joe Paterno, legendary Penn State Nittany Lions football coach
c.) Scottie Bowman, Stanley-Cup-winning former coach of the Detroit Red Wings & Pittsburgh Penguins NHL teams
d.) All of the Above

xo_kathy 01-06-2004 01:24 PM

OK, so I went to Find-A-Chi O and punched in all these last names.

There were tons of Madien name Bowmans, a handful of Switzers and only a married-name Paterno.

I would love for it to be Scotty Bowman's daughter as growing up in the Detroit suburbs I am a huge Red Wings fan. And, he seems a bit of the oddball entry. (While an amazing coach and hockey legend, hockey isn't this countries favorite or most well-known sport.)

I'm going with C! Come on Red Wings!!!!!


(P.S. Marica Montmorency was Sigma Chi sweetheart at Western Michigan University in the early 90's and I was PIKE sweetheart in 1992 at the same school. Sorry, still hung up on the Chi Os as sweethearts question! :) )

NutBrnHair 01-06-2004 01:45 PM

Noooooo...not C

(HINT: Try that maiden name search on "Paterno" one more time!)

No more guesses?

xo_kathy 01-09-2004 11:33 AM

OK, OK, I'll go with B from your hint! :)

(But on the website the only Paterno is a married-name and she lives in Pittsburgh. Is that his wife?)

You know - I thought that might have been the correct answer, but wasn't sure. That's so cool. Do you know if they were from the same chapter?

Yes, both Sela & Jenna were Nu Betas from Univ. of Alabama. Jenna went into modeling in NYC after college -- not sure what she's doing now.

Hootie wins! Hootie wins!

Yes, all of the above!

Chris Evert's sister, Clare, was a student at S.M.U. and a member of Iota Alpha Chapter.
Christine Toretti, Lambda Gamma (UVA), married Lute Olson last spring.
The Leonard women were Iotas from Univ. of Texas.

Nope, not D (even though Mary Love served as S.H. for 42 years -- the rules have changed since then!)

xo_kathy 02-14-2004 04:29 PM

I'll try B

NutBrnHair 02-14-2004 04:34 PM

Shucks! No, not B either...one more guess!

No, XOAlumXO...sorry, 3300 Carew Tower was one of our Cincinnati addresses. Guess again?

No, not d either. Come on, you all know how much I love the "none of the above" or "all of the above" answer. It's e. :p

Yeah, Cincinnati was a wonderful "home" for Chi Omega for many years. The Grandin Road property was especially lovely (a beautiful home overlooking the Ohio River), but had to be sold after Mary Love's death, since it was a private residence and not zoned for business.
