Chi Mu
 

We have a plaque from them down stairs. I assume it's entirely possible the person who made the plaque confused them with Phi Mu, but does anyone who have a Baird's mind checking?

I can access a partial (old) online version of Bairds, and it doesn't come up. Can you take a picture of it and post it? Any idea how old it is?

EW, there's no mention of Chi Mu in the latest (1991) edition of Baird's.

Could it be a local?

It is from 1969. It simply says:

From Chi Mu:
then has our Crest, our name, and the date. And that's all. Nothing else. It's in the shape of a shield kind of. There's really nothing much to it, it doesn't even say what it's for.

It could be a local, but I'm not so familiar with there being too many locals at Arkansas, if any.

Now Phi Mu was on around that time, so it's possible the ones who did the plaque got it wrong, but I just don't see them misspelling something so important and then letting it ride.

Could it be the name of a now-defunct family line in your chapter? Some of our big-little "families" have names in English, but others use Greek letters. Different families often have plaques or Christmas ornaments with their name on them for display around the house. Maybe one such plaque got left behind/misplaced at some point.

could it be the name of one of you groups chapters? you know, chi mu chapter of alpha beta chi at big state university.

Looked that up.

Didn't turn out. No idea.

Not too big of a deal.

Maybe it was donated by XM Satellite Radio.

If your library has old yearbooks, you might be able to find a reference to them there.

How old is your chapter? Could it be a pledge class gift? Our class gift has our class on it, and that sounds like something that could be a gift.

We've been around FAAAAR longer than that gift.

Still. Could it be an alumnae gift from that class? I would find that more likely, especially if Baird's and the school has no record of Chi Mu sorority or fraternity.

I think the person that said it is related to XM radio is on the right track.
